What is the function of the "cell linking" feature in Smartsheet?

The "cell linking" feature in Smartsheet is designed to enable users to create connections between cells in different sheets. This functionality allows users to reference data from one sheet in another, ensuring that information is consistent and reducing manual entry errors. By linking cells, updates made in the source sheet automatically reflect in the linked cell of the destination sheet. This is particularly useful for managing large projects where various teams may need to track different aspects of a project, but still require a cohesive view of data.

The other choices address functionalities that are not directly related to cell linking. Enhancing color coding pertains to visual management and does not involve connecting different sheets. Simplifying data entry relates to streamlining processes but does not involve cross-sheet references. Lastly, limiting data sharing is focused more on permissions and access controls rather than on the linking of data itself. Therefore, cell linking specifically serves to create and manage connections between different sheets, ensuring a more integrated approach to project management.
