I would love an area where I can outline specific information, filter details, or specific usage instructions within a report when sharing with my team. Especially those that are mainly collaborators and don't spend as much time in Smartsheet.

hi! - thanks for submitting this request! When you share a report, you can add a helpful message in the share dialog. When you share, this message is included in the share email. I am very interested in hearing where you would like to see this description for reports.

I’m thinking the top left corner, at the row/column nexus, a user could click an icon there to learn about the report—any applicable back story or instructions, etc.

Similar to the "Column Descriptions" in Sheets, it would be extremely helpful to have "Sheet Descriptions" and "Report Descriptions".
It seems there is a recognition that users would want the ability to explain important information about a column. But before a user can understand the column, they need to understand the context of the SHEET or REPORT they are working in. There is currently no way to communicate that information.

Ability to attach instructions on how to use report.
100% agree with this!

The "browse" button was recently changed to go through a recent workspaces menu and requiring a second click on "browse all" before actually bringing up the browse menu sidebar. This change is unintuitive as there is a "recents" button right below the browse button and for anyone who regularly uses more than 6 workspaces…
I need to be able to backup all workspaces at once. Backing up each workspace one by one is tedious and a waste of time. I know someone is going to tell me "even system admins cannot backup workspaces they are not shared to, and can only backup workspaces they own or are shared with." So, let me do that. At least let me…
I had Technical Support Case #09045069 in relation to this issue. I was told to get the API documents corrected, I needed to post to here. Update API Documentation Some (all?) of the API calls related to Alternate Email Addresses require both an Enterprise Account and to be manually activated by Smartsheet Support. The API…
