Excel book located in Sharepoint open as "read only" by default
Hi,
Is it possible to desactivate the default "read only" protection when we open an Excel book located in Sharepoint?
The users have to click "Edit Workbook" to save the document with the same name and we pretend to avoid this step.

Hi,
With the introduction of co-authoring mode that disappeared, please check https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/office_integration__sharepoint/2015/11/12/excel-2016-opens-sharepoint-workbooks-as-read-only/, thus for today that's version issue.

Hi Sergei,
Thanks for your reply.
I've realised that we are still working with version 16.0.9
Thank you for your help.

You are welcome. Hope you'll update soon.
