In summary: Migrating from Card View to Board View modernizes visual work in independent spreadsheets, preserving data and requiring adaptation of navigation.
Smartsheet has moved forward with modernizing its views and has retired Card View for standalone spreadsheets. The change took place on October 12, 2026 for Business customers and on October 26, 2026 for Enterprise customers, directing visual work to Board View.
What changed
When opening a spreadsheet that used cards, the user starts working with the new board view. Smartsheet reports that the transition does not cause data loss. Card View remains available in specific contexts, such as reports, published sheets, dashboards, WorkApps, and mobile apps.
How it works in practice
Board View organizes records into visual tracks and offers an up-to-date experience for tracking status, milestones, and assignees. As the view has evolved, some controls and habits may be in different positions than in the previous Card View.
Impact for teams
Teams that used cards as their primary interface should review instructions, training, and screenshots. The business process continues to be supported by spreadsheet data, but navigation needs to be absorbed by users to avoid loss of productivity.
How to prepare
Test critical sheets in Board View, confirm track configuration, and review associated filters, permissions, and automations. For published content, reports, WorkApps, and mobile usage, validate each context separately as Card View may continue to be present in these scenarios.
Availability
The retirement was communicated to Business on October 12 and Enterprise on October 26, 2026. Other product contexts may retain Card View as described by Smartsheet.
