Use this interactive demo to learn how to share an Excel workbook with others in just a few clicks.

Quick summary

Sharing a workbook in Microsoft Excel lets you collaborate with teammates by sending invitations or sharing links directly from the File menu. You can share via the Share with People option or use the Email option to choose your preferred sharing method.


Steps

  1. Open your workbook and click File in the top menu bar.
  2. Select Share from the left-hand navigation panel.
  3. Choose Share with People to send an invitation or generate a sharing link for collaborators.
  4. Alternatively, select Email and pick your preferred method to share the workbook with recipients.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing workbooks in Microsoft Excel is a core collaboration skill that enables teams to review, edit, and co-author spreadsheet data in real time. The built-in Share feature removes the need for manual file transfers by letting users send invitations or generate shareable links directly from Excel. Whether you use Share with People or the Email option, Excel's sharing tools support flexible permission settings to keep data secure. Mastering workbook sharing helps teams work faster, reduce version-control issues, and maintain a single source of truth across projects.
