Sharepoint Save Nightmare
My organization uses Sharepoint sites for excel file storage. These files are using Co-Authoring and autosave is enabled. Whenever I am making changes to a file, I check it out, ensuring nobody else ...
Hello bradbeliveau,
Check-out and co-authoring are separate collaboration models. Microsoft recommends not checking out a file when using co-authoring.
For co-authoring, keep AutoSave enabled and make sure everyone is using a supported version of Excel.
Microsoft guidance:
Check out, check in, or discard changes to files in a SharePoint library
Best Practices for Coauthoring in Excel
The issue still occurs when not using the check out feature. Users are reporting that simple data entry into their files is not saving. I can also attest that even when not checking out files, and nobody else is in the file, and autosave is enabled, data is sometimes lost.
Thank you, but this does not solve the issue
