Is there a way to recover rows that have been deleted from a sheet?
Hi,
Three options.
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Keep in mind that even with the backup:
1. You will not be able to restore any cell history.
2. You will not be able to put the comments back in with the correct layout. (time/date/user stamped, etc)
3. You will not be able to restore the original value of any system column where an index was created. (e.g. a unique ID or counter)
4. You most likely will not be able to restore the attachments correctly because even with a backup none of the attachments have markings to show what row they were attached to.
So yes, you may be able to restore the latest cell value, but you have lost much.
So glad you're on top of this issue, Brad. This is a major flaw in Smartsheet, and I am surprised that it hasn't been addressed yet.
I have a situation where rows in our archive got deleted so our metrics cannot be displayed for historical transactions through a sheet. I have an Activity Log export, but the data comes across as one row, no clear delimiter. Is there a way to easily turn that data back into a row in Smartsheet?
Example below:
Row 8129: "STOCK" Row ID: MvTkt8991 Requested Date: 04/14/2022 Lead Time: 7
Above I've put in four different fields
Primary Column = STOCK
Row ID = MvTkt8991
Requested Date = 4/14/2022
Lead Time = 7
I haven't had to deal with restoring data that was inadvertently deleted, so trying to understand what the most efficient option/s are to handle this without spending a ton of time on it.
I'm looking for a way to attach notes to a sheet that isn't attached to a specific row. Rows for many of my sheets are cleared out in preparation for the next iteration of the project, and I need a notes/comments field that remains with the sheet even when the rows do not.
I have a workspace that I am looking to move items from into a new workspace. The reason I want to do this is becasue there are individuals that have access to the original workspace that do not need access to everything that is currently in the workspace. In the original workspace is a MAIN document that holds all…
