Also looking for this information. They are really good at hiding that this feature requires the Monthly channel to work...I'm on 1708 but don't have co-authoring available in Semi Annual Targeted.

Help!

Yes Please. I have spent the past 2 days fighting with trying to figure out why this won't work to finally come across this one post that explained my issue.

  I have it available now since I changed to the Monthly channel (1712 at the moment).
  
  For now, if you're not on the Monthly Channel, it will only work in Excel Online.
