Hey bibotheghost, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Do you see the same behavior, if you open the file using a different browser or an incognito/private browsing window?

 

And what if you view the Dropbox version history for the file, do the changes show up there?

 

Keep me posted!

      Hi bibotheghost, how are you today?

      Does this happen with all of your Excel files, or just a particular one? 

      If "Show Changes" is greyed out in the Excel menu bar, then it's possible that the document has been locked from having changes made. However, since this looks like a Microsoft question or issue, the best thing would be to also check in with them. 

      I did some research on my end, and this is what I could find about it.
