hi jon,

information in pm.

file shared me in .xls type , opened in read-only mode too. explain that, excel online support .xls file, when youself open file format, excel online convert newer .xlsx file. if share .xls file others, don't have permission create newer file on onedrive, file cannot reverted or edited side. 

suggest share .xlsx files external users check outcome. able edit .xlsx files if have edit permission.

understanding.
