Link a Workbook to a Workspace
Only one user at a time may open a workbook from the workspace. However, workbooks may also be stored locally and linked to the workspace copy. To create a local copy of the workbook that is linked to the workspace:
Open the workbook from the workspace.
Save the workbook to your computer.
Excel displays a prompt (Figure 8-16) asking if you want to link the local copy to the workspace. Choose Yes.
Once you’ve linked a workbook to the workspace, changes you make are synchronized with changes from other users. If changes conflict, you resolve them using the Document Updates task pane (Figure 8-17).
