Smartsheet Tutorial How And Why To Hide Columns

Ever open a Smartsheet that has so many columns, it's hard to see what's most important?

Hiding columns can help!

Our latest tutorial with Lisa Wood demonstrates how to hide and unhide columns, and shares some best practices on why hiding columns can be useful.

A few takeaways:

↳ Hidden Columns Create Simplified Views: Only editors will be able to unhide columns, meaning that you can create easier viewing experience for users.
↳ Hidden Columns as "Helper" Columns: These columns aren't editable for most users, and can be used for reporting, filtering, and more.
↳ Coloring Hidden Columns: If you regularly hide and unhide the same columns, try changing the background color of those columns. That way you can easily re-select those columns to hide when you're done working in them.
