With a software update to certain versions of Excel in late summer 2017, Microsoft bought in a new co-authoring feature to support sharing of workbooks online. At the same time, Microsoft designated the Share Workbook and Track Changes as legacy features and removed them from the Excel ribbon. These legacy features are still available to users who want to add them to their version of Excel.

The Share Workbook and Track Changes features are useful for sharing a workbook on a network drive rather than online. You may add them to the Quick Access Toolbar, or you may add them to the Excel ribbon by creating a new group and adding them to the new group.
