Table view initial release is now generally available for all customers!

Hi Smartsheet Community members,

You’ve asked for faster sheets that can handle more data so you can manage large-scale projects and programs. You’ve asked for real-time updates without the need to save or refresh so that you can collaborate on work effectively and confidently. You’ve asked for a more intuitive and accessible experience that makes it easier to onboard and engage your teams. And you’ve asked for new and better ways to find, sort, filter, organize, connect, and intelligently analyze your work, so you can get more done with ease.

Built on our next-gen platform, table view is the foundation for delivering on that vision. We’re excited to announce that the first bundle of features we’re shipping for table view is now available for everyone!

This initial release includes a fresh, streamlined interface, real-time collaboration, faster load and instant saving, and all new ways to find and edit your work. And if you need to work at an even greater scale, you can opt-in to enable 2x scale, supporting up to 1 million cells today and scaling to 5 million cells in the future.

Built on the next-gen platform for scale and innovation

For over a decade, grid view has been the backbone of how teams collaborated and managed work in Smartsheet. But as our customers’ needs have grown, incremental updates weren't enough. We needed a fundamental shift to an all-new architecture that allows us to innovate faster and deliver a next-generation experience that serves your ever-growing needs.

This transformation led to the creation of table view—a complete reinvention of the grid—alongside other recently released views like timeline and board. Unlike past improvements, this isn’t just a visual refresh. Table view is entirely new and built from the ground up to support faster, more flexible, and higher-performance solutions. This change enables long-term scalability and unlocks the ability to deliver all-new innovations that were not previously possible.

1. A modern, more intuitive interface designed to help users get started quickly and work effortlessly:
   • A dedicated formula side panel to write and edit formulas, with AI support coming soon
   • Ability to apply color to dropdown values help you quickly visualize key information at a glance—no conditional format rules needed!
   • In-line hierarchy indenting so you can easily structure your project
   • In-line row and column creation helps you add data faster and right where you need it
2. Smarter, efficient work management capabilities so you can stay in control of your work and organize and analyze data faster:

What’s next for table view?

The innovation doesn’t stop here. Table view will continue to evolve rapidly, expanding to support other important features like dependencies, editing sheet & cell links, move/copy rows, cross-sheet formulas, bulk column visibility management, an improved conditional formatting experience—and more. Looking for something specific that isn't yet supported in table view? Submit a product feedback form or an idea in Community to help shape our roadmap!

In addition to core features, exciting new enhancements are already in development, including data integration workflows, column linking, AI-powered formula editing, and more. We will continue to expand table view’s scalability and improve performance with even more rows and cells, while also expanding large-scale sheet support across Smartsheet core and premium capabilities—including automations, forms, reports, dashboards, connectors, Dynamic View, and many more.

With this next-gen architecture, we can deliver improvements faster than ever - expect to see new enhancements rolling out monthly! Stay informed by subscribing to receive product release updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who has access to table? All customers on all plans have access to table view today. However, opting into large-scale sheet support is limited to Enterprise plans.
2. Do I have to use table, or can I keep using grid? Grig view and table view are both available for the foreseeable future. You can switch between table view and grid view at any time, and the choice is a per-user, per-sheet option. However, some features are exclusive to each view.
3. Can I work in grid view while my collaborators use table view? Yes! It’s a user preference. You can also set table to be the default view when sharing a sheet so your team members can have a modern, collaborative experience in table while you use grid to manage your solution as needed.
4. When will table view be at feature parity with grid view? Through frequent releases, table view will offer the vast majority of grid view features this year. In addition, new feature innovations like the ones mentioned above, will only be available with table view. Stay in the know by subscribing to receive product release updates. 
5. What are large-scale sheets and how do I enable them? Grid view supports 500,000 cells and/or 20,000 rows. Table view introduces “large-scale” sheets which increase sheet capacity by 2x with up to 1 million cells and/or 50,000 rows, with additional scalability in the future. This capability is exclusive to Enterprise plans. In order to access larger sheet capacity, you must opt-in for each sheet to ensure necessary solution capabilities are supported. Learn more. 
6. Is table compatible with my existing solutions? Will background automations and workflows keep working? Yes, table view is fully compatible with existing Smartsheet solutions. Just like board view or timeline view, it’s another view of the same data. At this time, automations, update requests, DataShuttle workflows, and other background processes are supported on table view up to 20,000 rows or 500,000 cells. Learn more.
7. Is table view replacing grid? Grid view will remain available for the foreseeable future. Once table view fully supports key grid features, it will transition to become the new default experience. Once the majority of our customers no longer utilize grid view, we plan to retire it.
