Hi ,
I deleted nearly all of one of my projects rows in error. There was no way to undo or put the data back. How do i fix this? I have exported the activity log into a CSV but I don't seem to be bale to re-import. Any ideas - HELP?
Sorry to hear that, but I did the exact same thing last week. I researched that there is no way to get the data back unless you submit a request to Smartsheet support and see if they could assist in recovering the data.
I too, exported the activity log and from there, manually re-entered my data. Be sure to back up your sheet once you get the data back (https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/506499-back-up-your-data).
Hi @John Vickers & @Sabrina Torok
To add.
I’d recommend setting up the (if you have access) automatic backup feature.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

I have this same problem -- there needs to be a way to lock out shared users from deleting a row. Backups can help, but don't solve the issue. If It's added and deleted between backups, then there's no solution. My issue is when the row is deleted, it adds an auto number to my sheet.. once it's deleted, that number can't be used any more, so down the road on my sheet, it shows it skips a number, which for records purposes can leave you wondering what got deleted.
Hi @PW Admin
Yes!
Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

Please see Community post https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/37871/deleted-rows
By all means submit an Enhancement Request as @Andrée Starå suggested- but as this fix does not generate revenue expect Smartsheet to continue to ignore it. 6 years and counting.
How can you get rid of the uncategorized land in a report timeline view?
Please help! I understand that we can't customize the gantt chart bars anymore if it is a parent row but why am I getting random colors on the bar view in my report? I would prefer it remain grey. The first picture is the Smartsheet and the second one is the report pulling from the sheet.
Trying to understand why we don't have the option to remove a status by automation. For example, when external customer approves a proof, it fills in "APPROVED BY CUSTOMER" which then triggers automation, but the existing status of "SENT TO CUSTOMER FOR APPROVAL" remains as I cannot set automation to do that.
