Numbers sharing excel files

Why can I no longer share a numbers file, converting it to excel, via email in one step?

It used to be easy.

Now you need to export it to excel (creating a new copy) then send that file and then I have to delete the copy afterwards too.

I guess Apple tries to make a clear distinction between these functions and the meaning of the words describing the different actions: sending a copy of the file, collaborating on the file with others, exporting the file to a PDF, Excel, …


In the Menu>File>>>

  1. Send a Copy> Mail, Messages, …
  2. Collaborate with Others (for sharing the original file with others)
  3. Export To > PDF, Excel, …

This a change (in my opinion, an unwelcome one) in Numbers 12.2 that as far as I can tell has nothing to do with Microsoft or Excel.


You can give feedback to Apple via Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback in your menu.


Meanwhile, it looks as if you will have to continue with the added step of first exporting to a file, and then attaching that file to an email, etc.
