Unable to Coauthor .xlsx on PC Excel 2016 while colleague coauthors in - Microsoft Community


i can co-author colleague via excel online if try edit in excel 2016, says locked colleague.

does function not work cross-platform (ie. using on webapp , using on actual excel 2016)?

please help

hi jeremy,

thanks update in private message.

i notice excel version 1705 (build 8201.2209) screenshot provided. i'd explain excel version not support co-authoring.  according article, co-authoring feature feature released version 1707 (build 8326.2058) excel on windows desktop.

you can wait future release excel version supports co-authoring. if you'd feature now, can refer article switch monthly channel. please test monthly channel office before deploying users on company.

besides, i'd remind if 1 person open workbook version of excel doesn't support co-authoring, else "locked" error even if else using version of excel support co-authoring. please see why getting "file locked" error section in article: collaborate on excel workbooks @ same time co-authoring.

regards,

joanne
