The library setting is " Use the server default (Open in the client application)" so this behaviour is not the desired behaviour. If I get a link for the spreadsheet by right clicking and choosing get link and then send this link to someone, when they click on the link the spreadsheet opens in the online version of Excel. If the user clicks they can edit the spreadsheet and save it back to SharePoint. If we go to the library in Edge and click on the spreadsheet it opens in the desktop app and presents a yellow bar "CHECK OUT REQUIRED To modify this server workbook, you must check it out ". If the user clicks on the file can be edited but can't be saved back to SharePoint because it is not in the check-out state. Workflows send out an email with a link and the user clicks on the link to open a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet is opened in the desktop application with a yellow bar "READ-ONLY We open this workbook read-only from the server. We have a document library that is configured to require check-out to edit documents. We have been having a similar problem with SharePoint Online and Office 365. Any ideas what the solution is or why it's happening? It's hardly "by design" is it? I've heard other people complaining about this issue before. which is not idea as I want to copy and paste in some screenshots into the document, and Word Online is not allowing me to do this! - advising me that i can only upload image files stored on my machine and not copy and paste :( I'll have to continue to use Word Online. The document opens up on his machine, in Word, for editing. My collaborator on the Customer side has closed out of the document and has repeated the same steps as I on his machine. I can save as and overwrite the server copy but the document in Word still is a (Read-only) document. I can only edit the document in Word Online.Įach time I click the "edit in word" button, the document will open in the Word client but only ever as (Read Only).
MICROSOFT WORD RIBBON MISSING IN READ ONLY UPDATE
They've provided feedback and I now need to update the document. Scenario is where I've worked on some documents in my OneDrive and when completed the first draft I've uploaded these Word documents to a SharePoint library on my customers tenant where they have reviewed.
I'm working on a customer site (using their wifi to connect to their SP Online tenant from my laptop that I've logged into using my organisational account) I also found similar problem in 2016 forum with note "Our engineers are working on the fix" and saving another document copy as a workaround.Īnother person with this, or certainly a similar problem (I'm working with a document that I've opened via the Browser, not the OneDrive sync client). I have problem only with recent documents in the library but the newly created have this kind of issue.
So I does not seems to be a library problem from my point of view.
MICROSOFT WORD RIBBON MISSING IN READ ONLY MANUAL
I tried everything from your list + manual reinstallation from 32bit to 64bit Office version + Online repair. Just two people out of twenty have this problem. On both computers I logged in with the same account with nice result:Ĭomputer A - can create document, edit it, save it, but it's read only when reopened. Have you tried different computer?
