New streamlined creation experience

by Product Marketing

April 7, 2025

We've made several changes that streamline how you create and access content by moving all creation activities to workspaces. This important update brings you a more intuitive environment where content consistently appears in logical locations. Whether you're creating new items, importing files, building pivots, or restoring deleted content, everything will now have a clear home within your workspaces, making collaboration more efficient and reducing time spent searching for information.

Functionality in this release:

  • All new items must be created in a workspace, the Sheets folder will no longer support creation.
  • The “Create…” button in the top right corner of Browse, (when you have the “Workspaces” or “Sheets” items selected) and right-clicking and selecting “Create” on the Sheets folder file tree item will take you to the create “+” page.
  • File > Import will ask you to use the “Add” button in the workspace panel to import items to the workspace. If you don’t have Admin permission, go to the create “+” page and create a new workspace or navigate to a workspace you have Admin permission in.
  • Smartsheet Pivot will no longer place new pivots in the Sheets folder.
  • When restoring items from the Deleted Items folder, the item will go back to the original workspace (unless the item was deleted from the Sheets folder).
