Hi there,

Our product team has a ton in store this quarter and we're thrilled to be sharing a preview of what's to come.

Ben Canning, SVP of Product Management here at Smartsheet, just shared a blog post about the types of product enhancements you can expect. Check it out here.

This is just the first blog post in a series of quarterly updates to keep you informed on what's coming and how it can have a positive impact on the work you do.

Looking forward to hearing what you think of these updates and the blog series as a whole.

Cheers!

I was excited to see this and quickly downloaded the desktop app. I was thinking now I won't have a million Smartsheets open in my browser that is already overcrowded with other open tabs.

Thank you Smartsheet team on continually working on enhancements!

Can't wait to get the desktop app approved by my IT department, so I can install it!

Also looking forward to the new "Reports stay connected" functionality. I'm tired of having reports break due to column name changes. This one can't come soon enough!

And "better dashboards", yes please!

Thanks Smartsheet for the continued improvements. Really looking forward to trying it all out.

Any updates to accessibility? I'm waiting to hear when we can expect an accessible SmartSheet experience?

Paul Newcome · 02/06/23

Definitely looking forward to the dashboard updates!!

Thanks @J_Schmidt I'm going to forward this to our product team. If you have specific feature /UI ideas on this topic I encourage you to share in our Feature Request and Ideas topic so peers in the community can vote up your ideas.

Sounds great!

Can't wait for:

RM Capacity view (and hopefully scenarios)
Reports stay connected - been waiting for this forever
Desktop App (nice and could make users opening Smartsheet with IE xx go away ;-) BUT on Mac should interact with keychain to make it easier to switch between multiple accounts)
Dashboards - very welcome

Keep it coming and thanks for your work!

Desktop app now generally available

Hi Community,
Focusing on work in Smartsheet is challenging when you have multiple browser tabs open at once. It’s easy to lose track of which browser tab has the Smartsheet item you need, get distracted by non-Smartsheet tabs, and lose momentum.
That’s why we released the new Smartsheet desktop app! Use the desktop app to access Smartsheet right from your device’s taskbar, organize your Smartsheet items in tabs, stay up to date with notifications, and work without the distractions of multiple browser tabs.
The desktop app is available to licensed users on all plan types and free trial users in the Commercial US region. Please note that while EU region customers can download and use the Smartsheet desktop app, the app experience is not optimized for EU customers. Full, optimized support of the desktop app experience for EU customers will be officially made available in the coming months.
Learn more about the Smartsheet desktop app and how to download it.
You can also stay informed by subscribing to receive product release updates for curated news of recently released product capabilities and enhancements for the platform of your choosing, delivered to your inbox. As new releases occur, you will receive a daily email with news of what's released. (Emails will only send daily, Monday-Friday, as new releases are available).
Cheers,

Hi @Genevieve P. ,

seen it, installed it on my Mac and waiting how it changes the way I work with Smartsheet :-)

As I posted above, a special wish from myself (as a Smartsheet consultant) would be to easily switch between multiple accounts.

Greetings

Stefan

@Stefan I haven't done anything with the desktop app yet, but was definitely wondering about that. Or being able to have multiple instances of the app downloaded so I can be signed in to multiple clients at once instead of having to juggle between regular windows and incognito windows. Haha.

@Paul Newcome @Stefan

I agree we need multiple instances of the desktop version to open at one time or even a pop out option. I have been using the new desktop version since it's launch and I found that in the past when creating new processes for automation or creating new dashboards etc that I will have a couple of browser tabs open side by side to review two or more Smartsheets at a time, with the current desktop version that is not possible.

My current situation is having the desktop app open, turn off the Smartsheet extension and use a browser tab to view a second instances of Smartsheet.
