Share Excel Workbook

The share Excel Workbook option is available under the Review menu tab under the Changes section, which is used to share the worksheet with any organisation recipient if they all are connected using MS Outlook. It allows the other recipient to review the document or file and make the changes. We can also highlight the changes done by other users and accept or reject those changes if they do not match the criteria.

Follow the below steps to explore this cool option.

You can download this Share Workbook Excel Template here – Share Workbook Excel Template

Step 1: Open the Excel Workbook you want to save.

Step 2: Go to the Review tab and find the Share Workbook option.

Step 3: After clicking on the Share Workbook, it will show you the new dialog box. Under the Editing option, select the checkbox ” Allow changes by more than one user at the same time. This also allows workbook merging.”

Editing option

Step 4: Now select the Advanced tab under the same dialog box. This section shows the options Track changes, Update Changes, Conflicting changes between users, Include in personal view under this section.

Step 5: Now save the workbook to the network location where the authorized person can access it and give them the link to the workbook folder, and you can also pass the link to your colleagues.

Concept of controlling history changes in workbook:

Step 1: Go to the Review Tab.

Step 2: Click on Protect Shared Workbook.

Protect Shared Workbook

Step 3: It will open the dialog box. Click on the dialog box and enter your password.

Entering the password

Step 4: Password is not mandatory, but it is always safe to protect and share to have control over the other person’s changes.

Protect Worksheet vs Protect Shared Workbook

  • Protecting the worksheet is nothing, but you do not authorize the user except specific cells.
  • Protect Shared Workbook means that you just turn off the option of tracking changes to the option of tracking changes in the shared workbook.

Merge Multiple Shared Workbooks:

  • If many people or users make changes to the workbook, you can work together and merge with Excel Compare & Merge.
  • Finally, you receive all the shared workbooks, save all the workbooks in a single folder. After that, select the Compare & Merge Workbooks option and individually select the workbook you want to compare and merge.

Unshare & Remove Users From Shared Workbooks:

  • If you want to unshare and remove users at any point in time, you can do this.
  • In order to unshare the workbook, you can go to REVIEW and click on Share Workbook.

Protect and Share Workbook

  • Now uncheck the option of Allow Changes by more than one user at the same time.

Uncheck Allow Changes

  • In order to remove users in the same window, select the user you want to remove and click on the remove user option.

Remove User option

Things to Remember

  • While performing in the Share Excel Workbook, always protect the workbook from controlling the track changes option.
  • Protect Worksheet and Protect Shared Workbooks are both different from each other.
  • You can select which changes you want to apply or remove at any point in time.
  • It is a feature that automatically adjusts the width or height of a cell. The easiest way to adjust a column is to use the Share Excel Workbook.
