Which of the following can you edit when creating an update request?

When creating an update request in Smartsheet, you can directly edit selected rows. This functionality allows you to choose specific rows for which you want to gather updates or information from team members, making it possible to focus on particular tasks or elements of your project without altering the entire sheet or other unrelated rows.

The ability to send an update request on selected rows helps streamline communication and ensures that team members provide updates only for the areas of the project that are relevant to them at that moment. This targeted approach increases efficiency and reduces the risk of confusion or information overload.

In contrast, locked rows cannot be modified by users, maintaining the integrity of critical data that should remain unchanged. Formulas are expressions that automatically compute values based on data in other cells, and these calculations are designed to stay intact during an update request, so they also cannot be edited. While start and finish dates may seem editable, they typically reflect key project timelines that should only be adjusted by authorized personnel, ensuring that the project’s schedule stays on track. Thus, the ability to edit selected rows directly in an update request emphasizes the importance of maintaining clear and focused communication while managing tasks within a project.
