Hi Jo - The Well! Welcome to our forum. 

 

Since I understand you’ve reached our support team, can you send me your ticket number here? 

 

Also, are your colleagues seeing the same thing if they close the file on their current browser and open it via a different one instead? 

 

Other than that, feel free to take a look at this Microsoft thread here, as some users are reporting the same issue as you. 

 

Let me know if that helps.
