Use this interactive demo to learn how to freeze a column in Smartsheet's Grid View.

Quick summary

Freezing a column in Smartsheet keeps key data visible as you scroll horizontally across large sheets. This feature is available directly from the Column Menu in Grid View and takes just two clicks to apply.


Steps

  1. In Smartsheet's Grid View, select the target column and click its Column Menu button.
  2. Choose Freeze Column from the dropdown list of column options.
  3. The selected column is frozen instantly and will remain fixed as you scroll across the sheet.

📌 Why this matters

Freezing a column in Smartsheet ensures that critical data — such as row identifiers, task names, or primary keys — stays visible at all times while users scroll through wide, data-heavy sheets. This built-in Grid View feature removes the need for workarounds and helps teams maintain context when reviewing or editing large project tracking sheets. For organizations managing complex workflows in Smartsheet, column freezing directly improves data accuracy and reduces user error during horizontal navigation.
