Attach files to a sheet

Duplicate file names

In the desktop app, when you upload a file with the same name which is already saved to the row or sheet, you’ll be prompted to select one of these options:

• Attach as a new version of the original file
• Attach as a separate file with a duplicate name

Alternatively, consider changing the name before you upload.

On the mobile app, identically named files will be uploaded directly without the option to save as a new version.

Attach files to a sheet or row

How you attach files depends on where you'd like them to be connected. You can attach files on the sheet level, or attach files directly to a specific row or comment.

To attach files at the sheet level

1. Select theAttachmentsicon.
2. Select theSheettab.
3. Drag any files to theAttachmentspane, or select theAttach Files to Sheetbutton.

Behaviors of row-level attachments

• Rows that already contain attachments will display theAttachmentsicon to the left of the row number.
• You can only attach files to one row at a time.
• You can't associate any already attached file with a different row or area of the sheet.

To attach files to a specific row

1. Hover your pointer over the row where you’d like to attach the file.
2. SelectAttach a file to this row.
3. In theAttachmentspane, selectAttach Files to Row.

If you’re uploading a locally saved file, you can drag the file to the row where you want to attach it.

Attach files as you comment

1. Go to theConversationspane.
2. In the lower-right area of the comment box, selectAttachments.
3. Choose from where you’ll upload the file.
4. Type your comment, and selectSave.

Attach files with Brandfolder

Brandfolder by Smartsheet is a Digital Asset Management Platform. If you have a Brandfolder account, you can attach files directly from your Brandfolder to the sheet. When you attach an asset from Brandfolder, you’re linking the row or sheet to the asset in Brandfolder.

Once you do that, you can make changes to the asset in Brandfolder. You can change file details, replace the asset with an updated asset, and more. The asset you access through Smartsheet will always be the latest version.

When you selectAttach from Brandfolder, the Brandfolder panel will open.

1. To find your asset use filters, labels, pinned searches, or browse through Brandfolder.
2. Choose the files you want to upload from Brandfolder.
   To attach multiple assets, select the asset's checkbox.
3. SelectAttach to roworAttach to sheet.

Any Brandfolder assets attached to the sheet or its rows are visible to people shared to the sheet. They don’t need Brandfolder access to view these attachments.
