I'm still having this problem. Is there an answer?
Shared Word files on Onedrive are read-only and cannot be edited
An employee at work has the following problem
(1) A user shares a Word file saved on Onedrive with multiple people.
(2) Among the shared users, only a specific user is able to edit the file because it is read-only.
(3) When the URL of the shared Onedrive is accessed, the file is opened in Office Online and can be edited.
(4) When switching from Office Online to the desktop application, the file becomes read-only.
Does anyone know how to cancel the read-only mode or how to make it possible to edit?
Please check.
