Which file type can you insert in a cell?

The correct answer is based on the compatibility of file types that can be directly inserted into a cell in Smartsheet. The application allows for the attachment of various file types to a given cell for enhanced information management and collaboration. When it comes to inserting files, image formats, such as .gif, are particularly suited for cell insertion because they can be visually displayed within the grid, offering immediate visual context alongside other data.

This functionality serves several purposes including making documents or images directly viewable, which can facilitate quick reference, and allowing collaborators to access important visual data without needing to open a separate file. In contrast, formats like .doc, .pdf, and .xlsx are primarily document and spreadsheet files that are typically not displayed within cells in the same manner as image files, limiting their instant visibility and accessibility within the Smartsheet interface. Instead, such files are usually attached to the cell and opened separately rather than being embedded within the cell content itself.
