Version Control for Smartsheet
Track every change. Compare any versions. Revert safely.
Huddle provides Git-like version control for your Smartsheet assets with automatic versioning, visual comparisons, safe reversion workflows, and complete audit trails that meet enterprise compliance requirements.
Enterprise-Grade Version Control
Automatic Version Capture
Every tracked asset automatically creates a new version when changes are detected - no manual intervention required
Visual Diff Comparison
See exactly what changed between any two versions with detailed component-level comparisons
Safe Reversion Process
Three-step reversion with backup creation and preview before applying changes to live assets
Complete Audit Trail
Track who made changes, when, with commit messages and detailed reversion history
Selective Reversion
Choose specific changes to revert rather than rolling back entire versions
Schema-Level Protection
Protects columns, formulas, automations, and sheet structure while preserving row data
How Version Control Works
Automatic tracking with safe, controlled reversion processes
Auto-Capture
Changes detected automatically create new versions with commit messages and timestamps
Compare
Visual diff shows exactly what changed between versions with component-level details
Preview
Backup sheet created with proposed changes for review before applying to live asset
Revert
Apply selected changes with full audit trail and automatic post-reversion versioning
Three-Step Safe Reversion Process
Like a mission control center for your Smartsheet changes - test before you deploy
IDENTIFY & PREPARE
Select the version you want to roll back to from your history. Huddle automatically creates a backup sheet and applies your selected changes.
TEST & VALIDATE
Get a secure test URL to view your changes applied to the backup sheet with your actual data. Test formulas, automations, and workflows before going live.
DEPLOY & TRACK
Once you confirm everything works correctly, Huddle rolls out the updates to your live sheet with a complete audit trail and automatic versioning.
Like Global Update Control Center
Just like enterprise software deployments, you get a staging environment to test your changes with real data before they affect your live operations. No more "hope and pray" rollbacks.
Real-World Workflow Examples
Accidental Column Deletion
Critical formulas accidentally deleted during sheet restructure
Step-by-Step Process:
- 1Huddle detects the change and creates version automatically
- 2Compare current version with previous to see what was deleted
- 3Select specific columns to restore via selective reversion
- 4Preview changes on backup sheet before applying
- 5Confirm reversion to restore only the deleted columns
Formula Corruption Fix
Complex automation formulas broken after bulk update
Step-by-Step Process:
- 1Review version history to identify when formulas were working
- 2Use visual comparison to see exactly what changed
- 3Create backup sheet with proposed reversion
- 4Test formulas on backup before applying to live sheet
- 5Revert only automation components while keeping new data
Compliance Audit Trail
Auditors need complete change history for financial tracking
Step-by-Step Process:
- 1Export version history with timestamps and user details
- 2Show visual diffs between versions during audit period
- 3Demonstrate that all changes are tracked and reversible
- 4Provide reversion history showing any rollbacks
- 5Generate compliance report with complete audit trail

"The safe reversion process saved our audit. When we accidentally broke critical formulas during a late-night update, we were able to restore just those formulas from the previous version without losing any data entries from the last week."
