Grid Tools Support Center

Browser extensions interact with live web applications, and Smartsheet updates its interface regularly. When something stops working or a feature behaves unexpectedly, it isn't always clear whether the issue is with the extension, the browser, or a recent Smartsheet change. The Support Center collects the resources needed to diagnose and resolve the most common issues.

Without Grid Tools

The daily workaround

Extension not appearing in Smartsheet
Users who install Grid Tools sometimes see no toolbar or indicator in Smartsheet because the extension is disabled, blocked by a corporate browser policy, or installed in the wrong browser profile.
Feature stopped working after update
When Smartsheet changes its interface structure, specific Grid Tools features may stop responding until a Grid Tools update restores compatibility.
Activation key not accepted
License key issues — including typos, use on the wrong browser profile, or seats already claimed — require direct verification against the activation system.
Unsure which features apply
New users sometimes spend time looking for a Grid Tools feature that either doesn't exist yet, applies only in specific Smartsheet views, or requires a specific sheet configuration to activate.

Frequently asked questions

My Grid Tools toolbar is not showing in Smartsheet — what should I check first?

Verify the extension is enabled in your browser's extension manager, confirm you are using a supported browser (Chrome or Firefox), and check that you are viewing a supported Smartsheet page type such as a sheet grid rather than the home screen.

A Grid Tools feature worked last week and stopped working — what happened?

Smartsheet regularly updates its interface, and those changes can break specific Grid Tools features; check the release notes page to see if a Grid Tools update has been released to address the change.

How do I contact Grid Tools support directly?

Support contact information is available on the Grid Tools website; for common issues, the troubleshooting guide and known-limitations page resolve most questions without needing direct contact.

Where do I submit a feature request for Grid Tools?

The feature request portal accepts structured submissions; providing details about your specific workflow and what Smartsheet operation you're trying to improve makes the request more useful for roadmap planning.
