Disconnect user from open Excel file
Our company has a number of Sharepoint Libraries that we use for document collaboration ( Word files, Excel files, etc ). I have a financial file for our 2021-22 fiscal year that we keep adding data...
Hi BrianH1957,
Though I have not critically checked this out with documents, but I am thinking of idle SharePoint Session Time Out.
I will check and revert back.
- Hello BrianH1957
I tried the SharePoint Idle session Timeout, it actually signed out the user after a particular given time. But it did not sign out the user from seeing the document, except the user refreshes the browser. If the document is opened on the desktop app, this session time out didn't also sign the user out.
But then, every update made syncs across the document whenever there is internet access and wherever it is opened.
To the best of my knowledge though.Thank you !
BrianH1957 did you ever figure out how to remove the users from the SharePoint? I have the same issue but I use Macros everyday and my users use the desktop app.
