Shared Word Doc on OneDrive Keeps Overwriting Recent Edits — Anyone Else?
Hey everyone,
We’ve been collaborating on a shared Word document saved in OneDrive for Business, and we’ve noticed something odd — every few days, recent edits from one team member just vanish, as if an older version overwrote the live copy.
We’ve double-checked:
- All collaborators are editing online, not via the desktop app
- Version history shows no major conflicts
- Autosave is enabled for everyone
It’s not happening every time, but often enough to cause problems. Could it be a cache issue, or something related to editing from multiple regions (we’re in 3 time zones)?
Has anyone else run into this with co-authoring in OneDrive Word files recently?
Would appreciate any insights or suggestions!
