Users have experienced data loss and file corruption issues with Auto-Save. Excel OneDrive files are just "files" — not a collaborative database.
Excel has no draft state — the moment you type, your half-finished numbers are live for everyone. There is no private thinking space.
An accidental sort, a deleted column, or an overwritten formula syncs to every user.
AutoSave captures keystrokes, not meaningful states of your data. There is no labeling, no reliable consistent historical states.
If you avoid Auto-Save and use Manual save, it forks the file into competing copies, reintroduces silent overwrites, and produces duplicates.
Information is too tightly welded to workbooks and worksheets, forcing users to share unnecessary worksheets, copy-paste, and rely on fragile file-to-file links.
