Preview a WorkApp on mobile 

  1. At the top of the screen, select the mobile icon.
  2. Scan the QR code with your mobile device.
     

    Not every mobile device has a built-in QR code reader. Some devices use your camera, while others require you to download a third-party QR code reader. Check your device documentation to learn more. 

  3. The WorkApp opens in the Android or iOS Smartsheet app on your device. You get a download prompt if you don't have the Smartsheet mobile app installed.

    Preview on mobile works in Android and iOS app versions 8.7 and beyond. Learn more about Smartsheet for iOS or Smartsheet for Android.

Exit preview 

  • Select Exit Preview (or Exit at the top right of your screen) to go to your last location in the mobile app or back to WorkApps Home.
