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.

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.
I 100% agree.
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.

Breaking up data between sheets and…
As the smartsheet admin for Europe, it would be extremely helpful to be able to view all Automations / recurring emailed reports in one place as opposed to sheet level. It's almost impossible to ensure everything is working correctly / delete recurring emailed reports without this.
It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to manually assign colors to individual projects within the Timeline View. Currently, project colors are automatically determined by the Dashboard Theme, which limits flexibility and makes it challenging to visually differentiate projects in a meaningful way. Allowing…
