Hide columns from Published Public View?

Claire Pascavis

Is it possible to hide columns from the public view once a Smartsheet has been published? I thought it was possible, but I can't figure it out now.

We sent out an automation to have different people update their rows for a directory. There are 1-2 columns that are just for our team on the backend (additional comments, etc.), but they are currently visible on the published view and we want them hidden. I tried hiding the columns and locking them, but neither option works.

Try creating a report and excluding those columns. You can then publish the report for the "external view".
