Android app: Editing a copy always required for every file

[Tex]

Hey @Aline, welcome to the forum + thanks for the questions.

@Aline

(version 21.11.6.1 on my phone, and version 23.05.5.2 on my tablet).

Definitely update your phone to the latest version.

21.11 was ancient, and a ton of things have been fixed since then.

@Aline

I’m using the Collabora Office app on Android to edit ods spreadsheets […]

Every time I open a spreadsheet, it opens in read-only, and I am forced to create a copy every single time.

Tapping the blue button with the pen triggers a popup stating that the document is read-only […]

How do I open a file and edit it without having to create a copy each time?

Hmmm, well, that’s definitely not normal.

Q1. And same thing happens in both your devices?

Q2. Can you give a little more info on:

• What exact devices are they?
  • What OS versions?
• The 3-line menu > About info from Collabora app.

Q3. And is this a problem with ALL your documents? Or only old ODS files you’ve carried over from other versions?

@Aline

(it’s not read-only at system level)

Q4. Where are you saving this copy file to? Do you know which folder?
