Sharing your workbook with others

You may share your workbook with your colleagues. Once shared, your colleagues will be able to view all the sheets in the shared workbook with the latest data on it. However, your colleagues will not be able to change the schedule or re-run the report.

  • Only the Owner of the workbook is able to create/update the schedules for the given workbook or to re-run the report.

  • If the reports in a sheet fall under a particular schedule, then it will run in the background and will update the sheet with the latest data.

Here are the best practices when sharing workbooks with others. There are different ways to transfer. The links below will help you transfer or share workbooks!
