Forms Excel Sheet doesn't refresh - Missing the add-in?

My latest excel files downloaded from my Forms are missing that little add-in that refreshes the data with new responses. 

 

Any idea how to fix this? Is there something else I need to be running on my Surface? 

 

I'm running Office Insider Slow Ring 1703, Build 7967.2035

  • This is what I see when I try to load the add-in when I'm on the actual Excel sheet I downloaded from Forms.

     

    FYI, this is a Form I duplicated.

      What I have read in a previous thread is that the team stopped working with the add-in. They are working on other solutions to collaborate en sync the excel files.

        Well this is a huge bummer. I understand that the team wants to create another method, but why kill off the working one in the meantime? I (and members of my department) have already created working assessment routines with our students that rely on the Data-Sync service. Killing it off without providing an alternative method means I have to do the same work (setting up my data analysis) multiple times and more work that was unecessary when Data-Sync was active.
