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!
I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
I am proposing bringing a bit of pizzazz to Smartsheet by having celebratory animations for certain criteria. Think Joyful Animations in Outlook! My team was hoping to have some sort of confetti pop/gif/image when we close out a project or hit a milestone. Bonus points if it is configurable like the automations are.
