How does Smartsheet suggest handling project data recovery?

Utilizing version history features and regular exports is the best approach to handle project data recovery in Smartsheet. The version history feature allows users to track and revert to previous versions of a sheet, which is invaluable when trying to recover lost or altered data. This functionality provides a safety net, enabling users to restore their work to an earlier state if mistakes are made or if data is unintentionally deleted.

Regular exports complement this by serving as a secondary measure of data security. By exporting data at routine intervals, users can maintain an additional layer of protection against data loss. This combination of using version histories along with regular exports ensures that users have multiple avenues for recovery, accommodating various scenarios that may arise during project management.

In contrast, solely depending on IT for data management lacks the flexibility and control that individual project users have over their projects. Manual backups, while beneficial, are not as efficient as leveraging integrated features designed specifically for data recovery. Furthermore, the notion that data recovery is unsupported in Smartsheet overlooks the sophisticated tools provided for users to maintain and restore their data.
