Mystery icon in Teams workbook cell

SRSteph 

The mystery blue icon you are seeing in a shared Teams workbook cell could be related to several factors. Without a visual reference to the specific icon, it is a bit challenging to determine the exact cause. However, I can provide some general insights into what such icons might represent in Microsoft Teams and Excel:

1. Data Synchronization or Save Indicator: One possibility is that the icon indicates data synchronization or saving status. In Teams and Excel, this type of icon may appear when changes made in a shared document are being synchronized or saved to the server or cloud. Once the synchronization or save process is complete, the icon typically disappears.
2. Collaboration Indicator: Teams and Excel often use visual cues to show that multiple users are collaborating on the same document. The icon may indicate that another user is currently active or editing in the same cell or area where you see the icon.
3. Notification or Comment Indicator: It is also possible that the icon represents a notification or comment related to that specific cell or area in the document. Comments or mentions can trigger visual indicators to draw attention to them.
4. Error or Warning Indicator: In some cases, icons may be used to signal errors, warnings, or issues with data in a cell. These icons are typically accompanied by tooltips or messages explaining the problem.
5. Teams Integration: If you are using Excel within Microsoft Teams, the icon might be specific to Teams integration features or notifications within the app.

To get more specific information about the icon and its meaning, consider these steps:

• Hover over the icon with your mouse pointer to see if a tooltip or description appears. This tooltip might provide additional context or information about the icon's purpose.
• Check the Teams or Excel documentation or help resources for information on icon meanings and possible causes.
• If you suspect it is related to data synchronization or saving, monitor whether the icon disappears after changes are saved or synchronized.
• If the icon persists or you encounter issues related to it, consider reaching out to your organization's IT support or Teams/Excel administrator for assistance.

Identifying the exact nature of the icon and its significance may require a closer examination within the Teams and Excel environment where you are encountering it. The text and the steps are the result of various AI's put together.
