![]() ![]() ![]() Two people using 3 cannot share an Excel spreadsheet: the OpenDocument spreadsheet format must be used. locking works with the Excel application, but live sharing between the two is not possible. However, you may encounter issues because of compatibility of the formats, so it might not work at all - it was certainly not possible in LibreOffice 3.0. This guide is only for LibreOffice format spreadsheets. More details about this option and use cases are available on LibreOffice Wiki. Try clicking on Tools -> Share document to switch to collaborating mode for the document, which should unlock it for other people (I wasn't able to find this option in my LibreOffice Writer, but it is present in Calc you say you use). In previous companies I have worked with electronic document management applications, with which this problem is hindered, hence my question.ĮDIT: For the record, I have Libre Office 5.0.6.3. My question is: does Libre Office provide the same feature, aka Document Sharing, I guess? What I am after is about having a document opened simultaneously by multiple people in Libre Office. ![]() The difference is when I open the same document in LibreCalc, it is locked and my colleague only notices as he tries to save his changes: after a couple of seconds he receives an error message saying "there is a sharing violation". I guess this is what the word "shared" means, which appears in Excel title when the document is opened by more than one person. they open the same document in the same time, modify it and every other user who has the document open is notified about changes. Recently a colleague showed me Excel 2013 is able to open documents that other colleagues "share" in the same time, i.e. It's been that way for a couple of years.
