Limiting Access to Folder and it's assets
I shared access to a user to a specific folder under workspace A (folder is 2025-09-Service Factory). However, I can see that he's shown to have access to all the other child folders under 02-ACTIVE Initiatives. Why is that when I only shared out one folder? Is there a way to only share access to users to ONLY specific…

More efficient way to hide/unhide columns
Provide an easier way to hide and unhide mulitple columns. We have large sheets with multiple columns, and there are times when we only want to view a smaller group of columns. Currently it's too cumbersome to hide the columns we don't need and then unhide when we are done, so we just scroll back and forth to view what is…

Make REST API Calls with an Automation
It would be beneficial to be able to leverage Smartsheet Automations to make REST API calls. This has many potential use cases, but one I could see is adding users to Smartsheet groups when the are added to a 'roster sheet' in Smartsheet. It would allow us to use the full power of Smartsheet's API within easy to use…

Warnings when approaching functional sheet capacity
Although we are extremely proficient when it comes to reducing load on our smartsheets (we use pivot, data mesh and data shuttle extensively), we still find ourselves hitting capacity limits (mostly because of the number of columns in conjunction with some pretty complex formulas). Breaking up data between sheets and…

Native Secondary Axis & Mixed Charting
Problem: Current Limitations Scale Conflicts: Currently, users cannot easily plot two data series with vastly different scales (e.g., "Budget" in millions vs. "% Complete" in decimals) on the same chart; the smaller metric becomes invisible. Complex Workarounds: Users are forced to create "Helper Columns" (to manually…

Not enough space in the cell for my notes
Hi, I'm using smartsheet to track updates on each task in a tracker. These updates may span over a year, so they get lengthy. I was excited about smartsheets because viewing these notes is a lot cleaner. However, I've just realized that there is a content limit to a cell, which is a huge issue. While excel was annoying to…

Displaying multiple time periods in Gantt view
Is there a way to display multiple time periods in Gantt view? Example: you have staff members that are your primary people, and they are contracted for 4 months, and then secondary or "fill" staff members that sit in when the primary is away on sabbatical or similar break. Idea here is that the gantt bar on a given row…

Public links to sheets in automated emails?
I am trying to send non-Smartsheets users information on forms. I know I can create a publicly accessible and editable link for the overall sheet/form, however, when I set up automated emails with links to the forms, the links to sheets/rows still require a login. Is there any way to get around it so that emails sent…

Incremental Baselines & Dynamic Baseline Linking
Problem: Current Limitations Destructive Updates: Currently, snapping a baseline is a global action for the entire sheet. There is no way to baseline newly added scope (new tasks) without overwriting and erasing the historical variance data of the existing tasks. Manual Data Entry: Users are forced to manually copy/paste…
