Can a Viewer Respond to an Update Request?

Can''t find an answer to this. I need people to be able to respond to update requests and enter info there, BUT NOT enter anything at the sheet level. Can a viewer do this?

Thank you!!

To add. They won't be able to edit locked columns in the update request.

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Anyone can answer, but a viewer won't be able to create the request.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

Is it based on role? I just asked a "viewer" to create an update request and they can't

I hope you are well too, Andre. The thing is, I was looking for a way for a viewer to ask for updates to the SS and then having the owner decide whether to make the changes or not. Seems like such an easy way to manage updates, is there another way around this or do you have a different suggestion.

I'm fantastic! Thanks!

Do you have access to the Premium App, Dynamic View? That seems to be the perfect solution.
