Grid Tools Release Notes

Browser extensions update silently in the background. Grid Tools users often don't know which version they're running, what changed recently, or whether a bug they encountered has already been fixed — unless there is a clear, accessible changelog.

Without Grid Tools

The daily workaround

No visibility into version changes
Silent auto-updates mean users can't tell when new tools were added or existing behavior changed.
Uncertainty about known bugs
When something stops working, users can't check whether it's a reported issue already under fix without a public changelog.
Feature discovery left to chance
New Grid Tools features added between major announcements go unnoticed unless users actively check for updates.
Support tickets for fixed issues
Without release notes, users file support requests for bugs that were resolved in the most recent update.

With Grid Tools

How Grid Tools handles it

Dated changelog entries
Each release is listed with its version number, release date, and a plain-language summary of what changed.
New tools called out explicitly
When a new tool is added to the library, release notes include its name, category, and a one-line description of what it does.
Bug fixes and compatibility patches noted
Fixes for broken toolbar behavior after Smartsheet updates are documented so users know an issue is resolved.
Linked to roadmap for what comes next
Each release notes page links to the roadmap so users can see what was just shipped alongside what is planned next.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check which version of Grid Tools I have installed?

Open your browser's extension manager (chrome://extensions or about:addons in Firefox) and find Grid Tools in the list — the version number is displayed there.

How often does Grid Tools release updates?

Grid Tools releases updates as needed — typically when new tools are ready, when Smartsheet interface changes require compatibility fixes, or when bugs are resolved.

Will a Grid Tools update ever remove tools I rely on?

No. Existing tools are not removed in updates. Deprecations, if any, are announced in advance in the release notes.

How quickly does Grid Tools patch Smartsheet compatibility breaks?

Compatibility patches are prioritized and typically released within a few business days of a Smartsheet interface change that breaks Grid Tools behavior.
