Scenario - due to table limitation in Confluence, we use Excel for rostering with one Excel file per State.
In the Edit in Office world, an Editor could open and edit multiple Excel Files at the same time, edit, then click Save. This would save the file back to Confluence while still allowing the user to make further changes to this file, and save as they go. They keep these Rosters open all day and make multiple changes to each file all day.
In the Companion App world, the Editor can only open one file at a time, make their changes, click Save, then click Upload, close the file, and start again. The Upload dialog disappears after each Save.
We now face a massive increase in administrative workload of opening, editing, saving, uploading, closing, opening, editing saving, upload, closing files all day.
The number of steps involved in updating our rosters due to companion app has resulted in a mass inefficiency.
Am I missing something? is there an easier way to do this?
Even if the editors save the files locally, update them all, drag them to the Attachments page, it's still an increased workload. There are multiple people editing the Rosters too, so we use Cenote Lockpoint.
New features should at least decrease workload not the opposite. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We consider this a massive step backwards and almost a bug.
