Cell-level Comments

Cell-level comments would be a huge time saver (similar to Excel) and in the Comments feature bar there could be a tab at the top that reads "Cell" next to the "Row," "Sheet," and "All" tabs. Currently, I'm spending a lot of time describing columns and going back and forth on communication to confirm columns and which cells. Right-clicking on a cell and adding a comment would be ideal. Pretty please Smartsheet; with ice cream and a cherry on top! 🍨

Thank you,

Agee, I would add option to hoover over cell and see the comment, just like in excel

Agree x2, with the cell-level comment, we can also choose which comment to be shared instead of sharing the comments on the whole sheet.

Love this idea!

More often than not (in fact, probably always), my comments pertain to a specific cell, not an entire row. This would be very helpful!

Agree! When there is a lot of information at the row level, it is sometimes difficult to decipher where the comment references.

Agree, my concern point is visual icon or mark which cell has a comment as we can see it on entire row

I think there could be a small colored box in a corner of the cell to visually show there is a comment associated with that cell, similar to how Excel handles this exact feature. Hovering over said box could display the comment.

YES, please!

This is a HUGE flaw. Comments almost are almost always cell-specific. For such a small thing to implement, it really decreases the usefulness of Smartsheets for me, and I may have to abandon it in favor of switching back to Excel.

Would love to see this. Having to go into Conversations is an extra click.

I would use this feature today if it existed. Would be very helpful.

it's a great idea and would make things much easier/clearer for my sheet users.

WorkApp Analytics
I’d like to see user analytics for WorkApps. I’ve checked the user report available in the Collaborator Pack, but it only shows how many times someone has clicked into the WorkApp each month.

Editable email Subject header from Smartsheet Notification
Hi There, I would like to propose that Smartsheet considers the email subject header that is received from a Smartsheet notification from a form or sheet.
