Read only fix
Hi
I've uploaded some workbooks to one drive. These workbooks are linked and will be opened up on desktop through excel online as it has spin buttons and a refresh button powered through VBA.
I've shared them with a colleague but she can only open it up as read only, I also don't see her in the sheets.
What am I doing wrong? I really need this to be functional. We have the full version of office 365.

SharePoint files open as read-only
At times, you may find that when you open files from SharePoint or OneDrive for Business they open in read-only mode. More informations in the upper link.
Resetting Microsoft OneDrive can sometimes resolve sync issues and resets all OneDrive settings. OneDrive will perform a full sync after the reset.
If you work with the "Regedit".
Keyboard shortcuts (Windows + R) open the Run window, then type: regedit
Find and delete OneDrive folders.
You can find it in this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive
Expand the Microsoft folder, click the "arrow", inside you will see the OneDrive folder, "right click" over the OneDrive folder and delete all.
This process only removes the OneDrive configuration, the data is fine.additional info:
This article contains details of the latest OneDrive releases for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web and the Windows Store app. Release notes are included only for builds that reach Production.
Hope I could help you with these information / links.
