    Yes, you should be able to use the Share functionality from either the web or the desktop version.

VasilMichev , 

If we turn on "Share Workbook" in Excel Desktop, we couldn't open Excel Online afterwards.

Please see the screenshot below.

 

We couldn't open either in Excel Online or Excel Desktop (Share Workbook is on).

What is the better way to guide users about this? 

I tried Share Workbook in Excel Desktop, other user can't edit the workbook at same time if I am editing. Thought that it's similar with Excel Online (co-editing).

Please advise and help
