How do I know whne and if someone deleted a row?
Your daily notifications will tell you that a row was deleted, if you look closely.
See related posts. This is a big problem that still needs to be solved.

Totally agree with Brad.
I'd like to see the Owner of the sheet have more ways to prevent people from inadvertantly or maliciously deleting rows.
An Admin can move a sheet to another workspace, effectively deleting it without a trace, for example.

Bill,
Craig had a wonderful idea that I have implemented. Set up a filter in your inbox to send a copy of any email with "deleted row" or "deleted rows" into a special DELETED SMARTSHEET folder. This has helped me rest easier, as I don't have to keep scrutinizing each notification for those words. I have a special notificaiton of the deletions thanks to MS Outlook. Now for SS to integrate this into their system....
Hi Bill. How do you do that filter in Outlook? Never done that before.

Niki,
The following link has the instructions for Outlook:

As for the specifics:
Set up a "Deleted Rows" folder for your emails to go to. Set the rule to send a copy to that folder. The filter criteria is "deleted". You could use "deleted row" and "deleted rows", but just using "deleted" will net you more results (safer bet).
Still waiting for a solution to this problem. This can be solved in so many ways, but still the problem persists. Please fix this Smartsheet.
Agree that this is a BIG problem. Smartsheet, please fix this.
