Hi,
I would like to share multiple templates that I have designed so others can use within my company. Does Smartsheet have the capability to share a blank template?
Hi Eddie,
Yes, it does.
Share a Template
Templates can't be shared individually, but they can be moved into a shared workspace. Anyone shared to the workspace with Admin access can create new sheets from your templates as long as they are a licensed user in Smartsheet.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic Weekend!

They only need to have "View Only" access to use the Templates. They just can't save it into the Template Workspace without the Admin Permissions.
I have something very similar set up for my teams. A workspace with a bunch of templates in it where everyone has "Viewer Only" access aside from one that has Admin as a backup if I am out for the day.
That way the templates cannot be altered or deleted, but they can be used. They just have to be saved to a workspace where the user has admin or owner permissions or directly into their "Sheets" folder.
It is incredibly disappointing you can't share Templates without a workspace. I just ended up creating a workspace dedicated to Templates.
I am trying to do the same thing but I don't want to have to share each individual person to the workspace. I want them to be able to go right to a dashboard and choose one of my templates and simply save it as new. I am assuming this is not possible? Thanks. Rebecca

Where I'm Currently Stuck: I can't even figure out how to create functional auto to send a row to a basic sheet. That is my immediate need. But if…

This just started today… For some reason, I can no longer edit fields in my Smartsheet. One I'm the owner of. I do see an icon in the upper right that says "Comment Only", but can't figure out how to change it. Here a screenshot of what I am seeing:
