The key themes of the Smartsheet design system are consistency, scalability, and speed. Our main goal is to make it easier for you to find the work items you need, with less friction. 

  • Find everything you need with the navigation bar: Quickly navigate to your work, access help, respond to notifications, configure your personal settings, and more — all from the consolidated and always visible navigation bar.
  • Home surfaces things most important to you: Smartsheet Home dynamically surfaces your most relevant and time-sensitive work in a single location so you can get more done and make an impact faster.

Home recommends sheets, reports, and dashboards based on your Smartsheet activity. When a sheet, report, or dashboard is part of a workspace you have access to, you will see the workspace's name in the respective item card.

From Home, you can:

  • Access suggested items.
  • Create new Smartsheet items via Solution Center.
  • Submit feedback about Home via the Megaphone icon.

Hover over an icon on the navigation bar to see what the icon means; select the icon to go there.
Browse Sheets

Home

See your recommended sheets, reports, and dashboards based on your Smartsheet activity.

Notifications

Take action quickly on other items (update requests, approval requests, notifications) as you work in Smartsheet.

Browse

Contains every Smartsheet item that you own or are shared to. Here, you can organize your Smartsheet items into folders and workspaces, and access your work apps. 

Recently

See your most recently accessed Smartsheet items. This list can contain up to 20 items.

Recently opened items

You can do the following actions in your Recently Opened panel:

  • Pin: hover over an item and select the Pin icon  to keep it at the top of the panel. You can pin up to 20 items here. The order in which pinned items appear is based on when you’ve pinned them—newly pinned items appear closer to the top.

Because the Recently Opened contains only 20 items, pinning 20 items in Recently Opened prevents other items from appearing in the panel

  • Unpin: Hover over a pinned item and select the Unpin icon next to items that are already pinned to unpin them.
  • Remove: right-click the item in the list and select Remove from Recents.

Unpinning or removing an item from Recently Opened doesn't delete it or remove your access to it. You can always access items you own or are shared to from Browse.
