Hey!

I need to attach a file to a spreadsheet while keeping it linked to the sources of the document. So there are a couple of shared files that my staff keeps in one shared folder, and everyone is able to access and make edits there. I need to create an excel sheet and insert some of those shared files (pdf or word) in there, but it doesn't quite work. So when I insert an excel file into the spreadsheet, it keeps it as a shared file, but when I put PDF, in order to access it you have to download it to your computer. This means that if someone makes changes to it, others won't be able to see it. Is there a way to make it work so that the files (pdf or word) remained shared and everyone would be able to make changes to them? Please don't hesitate to ask additional questions; I may not have explained it properly.
