Hi,
As an admin we made some columns as hidden, but collaborators are able to see under search and edit the row options. Suggest me how to avoid it.
Thank you.
If the column is locked and they are able to edit it, then it means they have admin access to the sheet. Editors cannot edit locked columns. Change their access to editor only and then they won't be able to type into the locked columns. I am not sure about why they are able to search a hidden column. This might be because of their permissions as well.
Hi Mike,
My question is Hidden columns are visible for collaborators, than where is the security. Collaborator can search any string in the main search option, It shows the result, where you can edit the respective row. Here collaborator is able to view all hidden cells. Check it once.
I agree that is an issue. I am wondering if your collaborator has greater rights than an editor. People who are shared as an admin on a sheet can hide and show columns. I wonder if your collaborator is shared with greater access than they are supposed to have? Have you checked to see what level of permissions your collaborator is shared with?
I don't have time to test this personally, perhaps a smartsheet employee can chime in and test. You can also report this to support by logging a support request and they can help you determine what is going on.
The rights of the collaborator is editor can not share. I made a request to the support team, waiting for the reply.
Thanks, let us know the result of the issue because that is a big deal.

However, when I put this formula into the spreadsheet, '04a_Marketing Request Tracker - Formulas', I get an…
Have any of you created a Smartsheet that would show the savings for a project by the month? In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
I have had approval workflows and notifications built into a couple sheets for about a year now. In the past month, I am getting a lot of feedback saying people did not receive the email request for approval or notification email. It isn't all the time, just sometimes and there does not seem to be a pattern on which ones…
