You’ve felt this before

“There should be an easy way to see how many sheets we have — and who owns which ones.”

— Smartsheet admin, public community forum

“We have hundreds of sheets now — we’re starting to feel the growing pains.”

— Smartsheet admin, public community forum

“Smartsheet visibility is a BIG problem”

— Smartsheet admin, Fortune 500 Company
How it works

From zero to full visibility in three steps.

Connect once, scan your environment, then explore the highs and lows of what’s really out there.

1
Generate your Admin API key ? A Smartsheet Admin API key is critical — it’s the only way to see sheets the admin doesn’t personally own. A standard key only reaches your own sheets; the Admin key reaches the whole environment.

Paste in a Smartsheet Admin API key. You can add, rotate, or revoke it yourself at any time.

Run a scan

Kick off an on-demand scan or schedule it weekly. It pulls metadata for every sheet — never your cell data.

What you can see, per sheet

Every sheet comes with a full profile — not just a name in a list.

Four categories of metadata, captured automatically on every scan. Here’s the kind of thing each one makes possible.

Identity & Ownership
  • Owner, and their manager — not just who has it, who's accountable for it.
  • Org segment — which team or department it really belongs to.
  • Workspace & sharing footprint — where it lives, and how far it's spread.
Art of the possible

Route a change-management request straight to the right manager — without a single email asking “who owns this?”

Activity & Lifecycle
  • Created & last-modified dates
  • Active in the last 30 / 90 days — a real usage signal, not a guess.
  • Revision history depth — how much a sheet has actually been worked.
Art of the possible

Build an auto-archive shortlist every quarter — sheets untouched for 90+ days, ranked and ready for owner sign-off.

Structure & Complexity
  • Rows, columns, formulas & validation rules
  • Gantt & resource-management usage — flags sheets doing project-management-grade work.
  • Complexity score — Low / Medium / High, calculated automatically.
Art of the possible

Spot the handful of sheets that would break in a platform migration — before they break, not after.

Content & Risk Signals
  • Attachments — count and total size, so you know where files actually live.
  • Sensitive-data indicators — column and file names that suggest PII, flagged for review.
  • Cross-sheet references — how tangled up this sheet is with others.
Art of the possible

Hand compliance a pre-built shortlist of sheets to review — before they ask you for one.

Every field above comes from sheet metadata — no cell data is read from your sheets.
