Issue

Users may encounter "Request aborted" errors when inserting workpapers, particularly BAS lodgement and ICA account records.
​

This issue relates to how AutoSave interacts with SharePoint synchronization during sheet insertion.
​
This can result in:

  • Failed sheet insertions

  • Duplicate workpapers

  • Incorrect dates

  • Extended loading times


Temporary Solution

  1. Before adding new workpapers:

    • Turn OFF AutoSave

    • Look for the AutoSave toggle in the top-left corner of Excel

  2. Add your workpapers

  3. Immediately after completion:

    • Turn AutoSave back ON

    • This step is crucial for normal SharePoint synchronization


Important Notes

  • Only disable AutoSave when adding new workpapers

  • Keep AutoSave enabled during all other work

  • Safe to delete any duplicate sheets that appeared previously

  • Works for both local and VPN connections
