I have a Smartsheet that has be shared and is in use with others in our business.
My problem is I am unable to see any input to the sheet that has ben done.
What do I need to do to see this. Thanks
Hi Warren,
Before you can see any changes, other users shared to the sheet will either need to:
If any of these events occur, you will see a "Refresh" icon and alert in the sheet's tab advising you that changes have been made.
Kind regards,

Hi Warren, though smartsheet doesn't show you changes as they occur, you can apply formatting to highlight anything that has changed in the past, x days hour, etc.

The way SS forces you to have to refresh to find where the changes have been made is not very efficient. Places like Drive allow you to see others making edits in real time. Is there already a request to have this feature added?
I agree with Mark this feature is very important for us

Right now, it seems like everyone would be overwriting each other's data if they don't know what rows other people are working in.
Yesterday it was brought to my attention that on 9/2, a bunch of rows in a sheet I manage had randomly been updated. The Activity Log isn't very helpful to troubleshoot, but it appeared based on spot checking that it had impacted rows that were 'closed requests' so I added a condition to all my workflow rules to NOT change…
This may be a longshot, but I am wondering if there is an easy way to track what a delay is within a project? My best thought would be to make it a manual field within sheet summary that is a dropdown. It would be called something like Project Delay with dropdown selections like: Customer, Supply Chain, Sourcing, etc. Not…
Our jobs are disappearing after being added to our schedule sheet. My conditional format is set to have all jobs already on the sheet to turn purple each week the admin adds new jobs to eliminate duplicates. She is telling me that they are turning purple from where they have been on there before, but it is nowhere to be…
