Concurrent open sessions of a file
I am an independent advisor responding to inquiries.
You can post the content - not the file - as a Loop component on MS Teams. Then the users can review, and the manager can update the info in real-time at any time. This way the manager can log on anytime from any device without timing out issues.

Teresa_Cyrus It seems as though a loop component will allow me to make a table or some other simple file. Unfortunately the file I am using is more complex than the limitations of that loop component. Granted, I have never used one, so perhaps I am underestimating its potential, but given that we are using a full fledged excel file utilizing multiple sheets, it doesn't seem appropriate. That being said, my user has stopped opening the file in any programs other than excel, and he shuts down every evening. The error continues to happen, about once a week, usually between 12 and 2pm, and he usually notices at the end of the day. This means that about once a week he is timing out after 5 hours and losing about 4 hours of work, give or take. That also means that usually the file is open for 9 or so hours without issue on most days.
