We\u2019re excited to announce our newest feature: inserting images directly into Smartsheet cells<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

Viewing images in the grid (instead of clicking to open multiple attachments) provides instant context surrounding a project, as well as a time-saving method of feedback and direction. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

How to add an image to a cell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Excel and Google Sheets, images placed in a spreadsheet aren\u2019t actually inserted into a cell. They float on the surface as an overlay. What\u2019s the difference? Images floating over a cell don\u2019t stay in the context of their surroundings. Should a team member add a row or column, the image will not move with the intended row or column, thereby removing it from its respective information. What\u2019s more, images must be manually sized to fit within the confines of a cell. Our newest upgrade adheres the image to it\u2019s intended cell, resulting in immediate alignment with its context.<\/p>\n

Want to try for yourself? Open a sheet, and let\u2019s get started:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click <\/strong>the cell you wish to contain an image.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose Insert Image<\/strong>… from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n
  3. Then, pick the source of your image.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our mobile application is just as intuitive. Because display resolution is much higher on mobile devices, images viewed in the mobile app will not enlarge beyond their actual size. The layout may look a bit different from the desktop version, but your image will never be contorted.<\/p>\n

    Keep in mind, one cell holds one image. Inserting a second image will override the first.Compatible file formats include<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    Simplifying how you work<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    One of the best qualities of Smartsheet is that it works the way you do. Allowing images in the grid won\u2019t change any of your existing processes; instead, they\u2019ll gain momentum, thanks to the real-world application of this handy visual tool. Here\u2019s just a skosh of the possibilities it affords:<\/p>\n
