Keep Formats in Smartsheet - Preserve Rules Fast
Keep your conditional formats when you change columns.
- •Copy and paste conditional formats across sheets with one click so your rules stay consistent and you keep formats in Smartsheet.
- •Save formats before you change a column type, update the column, then paste formats back so you do not recreate rules.
- •Save hours each week on repeat tasks.
I'm going to show you how to copy and paste conditional formats between sheets in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid view. Click the conditional formats button in the toolbar. Click \"Copy Rules\". Select the conditional formats that you want to copy. Click \"OK\". Open another sheet in Grid view. Click the conditional formats button in the toolbar. Click \"Paste Rules\". SSFeatures will paste all of the conditional formats into this new sheet. This saves you so much time. You don't have to manually recreate dozens of conditional formats anymore.
Use Cases
Managing Multiple Sheets - Quickly copy conditional formats from one sheet and paste them into other sheets built from the same template.
Updating Column Types - When Smartsheet forces you to delete formats after changing a column type, SSFeatures lets you copy them first and paste them back afterward.
Reducing Errors - By reusing existing conditional formats, you eliminate the risk of mistakes that happen when recreating rules by hand.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."
Ari Diamond

The developer is incredibly responsive and provides top-notch customer support, making sure everything runs smoothly. It has saved us a ton of time and eliminated a lot of manual work. If you’re looking to get more out of Smartsheet, I highly recommend giving SSFeatures a try!"

"Finally found a solution to handle some of the features I have been waiting on for a long time... So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
