AutoSave for Excel conflicting with colleague changes.

Basically the environment is 2 people on 1 excel file with a handful of workbooks.

 

From time to time, we get the following message:

"Your file wasn't uploaded because your changes can't be merged with changes made by someone else."

 

Can someone shed some light on why this is happening when Auto Save should being updating the file every few seconds?

    This typically happens when one of the users does something that is not yet supported in Excel's new Co Authoring feature. I seem to recall adding shapes is one of them.

      No special shapes. Just some background color for some of the column's.
