I'm new to the community. I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but I cannot find a suitable answer: Is there a limit to the number of users that can be active / accessing a sheet at the same time?
Hi Kevin,
I'm not aware of any limitation on active users in a sheet.
Do you have a scenario when there are many users active at the same time?
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

Thanks for the response. Good to hear that to your knowledge, there is no limit to the number of users that can simultaneously access a sheet.
I will be rolling out out a training soon, and I plan to have about 30 users on the same sheet at one time... hoping it actually works.
Happy to help!
I would recommend contacting the Smartsheet support team to make sure that it will work.

Good luck with the rollout and please report back what the support team says and how it went.

There isn’t a limitation on the number of users who can collaborate on a sheet simultaneously —I saw 300+ users on a sheet once before. If you have a scenario where a lot users will be accessing a sheet at once, I’d recommend sharing the sheet with Editor permission, and above, only to users who will need to edit sheet data, and assigning Viewer permissions to everyone else.
Also, as a best practice, I’d suggest encouraging your collaborators to save and refresh often. If frequent changes are being made on the sheet, see here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/522069-working-with-multiple-collaborators
I hope this helps!

Every time an automated email triggers on its own today, whether it's a regular alert, update request, etc, the values that usually appear when the automation workflow includes a field in curly brackets (ex: {{First Name}}) appears as a weird alphanumeric value in…
Hi - Is anyone else having problems with placeholder fields in update request automations today? I've been notified by my staff that our automations today are showing random text strings instead of the field data that they are supposed to. For example, in one of my sheets, there's an automations thatis supposed to show a…
Hello to all the community, my team is experiencing an issue with the notifications in Smartsheet. In the last hour the notifications started including only the placeholders of the columns, instead of the content of the related cell. I checked with the support and this could be related to changes in the workflow or in the…
