The only way to gain access to those elements again is to unshare the document. These feature locks also apply to the document creator. When a document is shared, formatting and chart/drawing editing attributes are locked so other users cannot alter the spreadsheet’s design - they can alter data, just not the design. The collaboration works seamlessly (across platforms even) when using the open document format. There has been an uptick in these questions since the release of Microsoft Office 2013.Ī user recently asked me, “Does LibreOffice offer the ability to collaborate with spreadsheets?” The short answer is “yes,” and the long answer is “yes, with a caveat.” The caveat is the collaboration doesn’t work well when using the Microsoft native formats. I get a lot of questions from small business users about migrating from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. The ability to easily share spreadsheets in LibreOffice has helped bring the office suite that much closer to being a worthy replacement for Microsoft Office.
