Hi. Is there a way to automatically revoke sheet sharing access after a certain number of days (e.g. after 60 days)? We''d like to give a third party access to our file but only within a limited number of days but we want it automatically.
Hi John,
There currently isn't a way to set temporary permissions on a sheet such that they become revoked after a certain amount of time. When you have a moment, please submit an enhancement request using the Product Enhancement Request form under Quick links on the right of the community site.
To make the share/revoke process easy is to use groups and add your items to a workspace. If you create a group for your temporarily collaborators, it's easy to add the group to a workspace (even if you're only sharing one sheet), then you can revoke the entire group's access when needed. More info on using groups is available in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1554165-managing-groups-team-business-enterprise-

You might even consider building a reminder on your sheet to remind you that you need to revoke access on a certain date! More on reminders here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/542913-using-reminders

Restructuring sheets with tighter dropdowns and clearer naming is key. Why? Because ambiguous column names and free-text status fields that a person reads as fine can produce inconsistent agent behaviour. It’s worth unpacking, because the reason is not that the agent is worse at reading than you are. It is that you bring…
I know I can manually configure a dropdown column in Table View so that its options are linked to a column in another sheet. This is useful because the dropdown values can be maintained in one source/config sheet. However, I have around 100 existing sheets where I need to configure the same linked dropdown setup. I would…
