Please tell me there's a way to have contractors (need access to a published sheet outside of our organization) have the ability to use the conversation feature, but with no other edit rights.
Hi Tyler,
Do they need to only view or reply/add comments as well?

Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

They need to reply/add comments as well, but with no other edit permissions.
I believe you can achieve this by using the Update Request automation workflow.
That's a tricky one!
I don't think it's possible! We could maybe use an Update Request workflow as Debbie also suggested below, but then you would have to lock all other columns except for the one triggering the Update Request.
I'll get back to the post if I come to think about a solution.
Andree, you are right in that some of the columns would need to be locked but only the ones that you think the end user would need in the update request that you don't want them to be able to edit; just leave the columns that you do want them to edit as unlocked and this will be fine.
Locking the columns will effect anyone shared as Editor - but if the only other people using the sheet are licensed users then you can share to them with Admin and they can then update the locked columns while they are still locked.
This approach really depends on how many collaborators you have and how many need editor rights to all columns or just editing rights to one or two.
Good luck!
I've created a Smartsheets form. When someone submits the form, I want them to automatically be emailed a document that has resources and links, but the document is filtered to only show the content that corresponds with what they selected in the form. Is something like this possible? What types of documents or automations…
I have a sheet that I created in a previous version, and it had a form. I was recently upgraded to a newer version and now my form is not working. I created a new form for the sheet, and it is giving me an error also. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? The error says Form Unavailable. Sorry, the form you're trying…
Hi, I have read the post from 8/21/25. I am still getting the same error. I am setting up a new device and just download the latest version as of 9/5/25. I am using a Eunivon Smart White Board for touchscreen capability. It is running Android 14. Any help would be appreciated.
