I just tried to edit a shared spreadsheet and am unable to do so for some reason.
Numbers keeps pestering me to upgrade to v10.2 (currently at v10.1) but I can't do so because I'm not running MacOS v10.15 (only v10.14.6)
Why is this happening? It's possible that the person that I am sharing with already upgraded. But why can't I unshare?
Thanks for giving it a try, Justin,
We certainly understand your concern. It sounds like the document itself is fine if you're still able to access it via iCloud. This may have happened if the user who is collaborating on this document with you is using a newer version of Numbers and saved the file.
If you're unable to edit the document via Numbers on your computer, we'd recommend that you work with it via iCloud instead.
We hope this helps.
Take care!

Hi there, Justin,
We understand that you're unable to edit a spreadsheet in Numbers. Are you seeing any alerts when you attempt to make an edit? If so, what message do you see? Any specific details you can share will help us to isolate this behavior further.
If you'd like to stop sharing the spreadsheet, check out the steps to do so outlined here under "Stop sharing a document": About collaboration for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers!
Hi
This is what happens shortly after I open the file
We appreciate you clarifying this for us, Justin,
Are you able to install the Numbers update or open the file via iCloud?
Best regards.
I can't install it because it requires MacOS v10.15
Got it, Justin,
Are you able to update your macOS?
Also, can you tell us what happens when you attempt to open the file via iCloud?
Thank you.
I would prefer not to update because I have some apps that aren't supported under v10.15
If I open via iCloud, it works fine
I think that this is accurate, thanks for the assistance!
You're most welcome, Justin,
All the best!
