We often reuse Smartsheets from one year to the next. It would be helpful if there was a method to delete all comments the same as you can delete all attachments. (If you can't do this with proofs, that would be a nice addition also.)

This is a little ridiculous - having to delete one conversation at a time. We're trying to set up new smartsheets for the year and having to remove over a hundred conversations is NOT a time saver.
Build a template sheet to reuse each year ?? would that be an option?
@Stacy Meadows - Thank you for your suggestion. In our case, we start out with a template and then customize it to the client. Another option is to save the completed sheet as template and then use that template to create the next year's sheet, then delete the template. This is a workaround - an option to delete all comments would be very helpful.
ETA: this would change the URL of the sheet as @Stacy Meadows pointed out.
Could you not save as a copy or template .... select data and formatting options then uncheck comments and attachments prior to renaming and saving?? :)
I suppose this would change the link address though xx
@Stacy Meadows - correct, it would change the URL and for us that is a problem. Thank you for your suggestions!
I built a central link dashboard so I would have department heading or subheadings .... then underneath would have links to each report base sheet etc - people could only access these if they had permission...
Each time I need a link updating rather than sending it companywide I would update links on dashboard and make sure they used dashboard as an up-to-date directory... also a good roadmap... I also put external links we use regularly :)
ps I also built a management dashboard but had the link on the central dashboard to the management one (again only shared with management so no one else could access this)
@Stacy Meadows - we are using these particular sheets for outside clients. We want to maintain the URL and the setup. The system we have works great, except for deleting comments.
Two years later - is there a solution for this?
Hello Smartsheet. Still need this.
Currently, comments within Smartsheet are only able to be deleted upon 'saving as new' or one by one in each row of a sheet.
Proposing an enhancement to be able to bulk select and delete comments within a sheet.
This would be a huge time saver!
Yes, to this please!
Yes, this would help save some time for sure.
Yes, this would be very a great time saver!
As one of the system admins, it is absurd to me that I cannot view or have access to all of the items created in my organization. We have over 11,000 reports, sheets, and dashboards and I can't see them. I have no visibility to if people are using our plan for their own personal use, or what kind of work is going on unless…
I noticed this the other day and tested Ctrl + M – it does not work. I submit ticket to Smartsheet support – they told me that’s expected behavior because it’s not currently available even though it still shows as keyboard shortcut in the menu🙄 and told me to submit new product idea. Please add this keyboard shortcut to…
Our sheets & workspaces require many people to have Admin level capabilities, which means that when someone requests access to a sheet or workspace, that email is sent to every Admin. This causes confusion and higher risk of no access granted (because people have learned to ignore the emails) or the wrong level of access…
