What is the effect of sharing a Smartsheet asset with a user who has no account?

When sharing a Smartsheet asset with a user who does not have a Smartsheet account, the user is prompted to create an account. This process facilitates access, enabling the user to view, edit, or collaborate on the shared asset once they have completed the account creation.

Creating an account allows users to seamlessly interact with Smartsheet's features, including collaborating on sheets and engaging with the shared content. This mechanism is designed to streamline cooperation among users, encouraging wider participation and collaboration within projects. Therefore, prompting the user to create an account serves to enhance the usability and accessibility of Smartsheet resources.
