Stop Excel doc from auto updating on SharePoint
Stop Excel doc from auto updating on SharePoint
(OP)
We have a question about just one of several Excel workbooks uploaded to a SharePoint library. The owner of the document opens the item from our Fileserver vs SharePoint, edits it, even renames it and finds that the SharePoint copy is updated and renamed. He does not want this behavior. We have not figured out why this is happening nor how to stop it. I don't think the doc is shared and not sure from my experiments that that would cause this either. Any ideas? Thanks, tmnelson

Then open the newly Save As doc, edit, and save.
Does it still update SharePoint?

2) The file now lives IN SharePoint, yes?
3) If the file is opened FROM SharePoint, then edited / saved, it will save BACK to SharePoint.

is there any chance he created shortcuts to the documents that now live in sharepoint?
i tried to recreate the issue with no luck.
moved an excel file to our network share.
opened sharepoint.
opened a library in explorer view, and copied the excel file in.
i then opened the excel file form the network share.
made some changes.
saved the file.
open the same file in sharepoint.
nothing had changed.
