Row Locking Now Requires Paid User

For the past 3 years I have had free license users managing a sheet and locking rows. Seems as of yesterday they lost the ability to lock rows and the annotation states that they need to upgrade to a paid user in order to do so.

Can someone confirm this is the new normal? Maybe provide a link to a announcement that states this change was coming? I cannot seem to find anything when searching the forums or Google.

Hi Shawn,

Unfortunately, yes. I can confirm! Smartsheet recently made a change that impacts free collaborators and unlicensed users and what they can do.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful. What is the protocol for restoring this information? I've only done this before with the help of a representative and it was…
Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF. I have tried making the PDF again from scratch, I have tried copying and pasting the fields so I know they're the exact same…
