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.

I have several sheets set to date stamp based on when another field is changed to any value. For example, on one sheet the Trigger is "When rows are added or changed", when BPO# changes to any value.…
Hello Community! My team experienced the following issue in the past 2 weeks: in Calendar View we can't anymore open Forms from the upper menu. We can only open Forms from the side menu, clicking on the Workpace icon. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I was wondering if this was actually happening or if something weird was going on with my automation. But, after 3 days, my approval requests will auto-deny and wreck my workflow, marking things as denied, even when I haven't gotten to them yet. I have a formula and a helper column that documents when an approval has gone…
