The spreadsheet needs to be on a shared drive, server, website, or similar. Some conditions must be met on operating systems with user permission management:

  • The shared file needs to reside in a location which is accessible by all collaborators.

  • The file permissions for both the document and the corresponding lock file need to be set so that all collaborators can create, delete, and change the files.

In order to correctly identify the changes, each collaborator should enter their name in - Cool Office Suite - User Data on the Menu bar.
