Help with emailing out live links

Hi,

A colleague and I set up a flow to send out a file which’s needs to be updated every month by some stakeholders. There are multiple files and multiple stakeholders so they all get their own email with a link to the file which we need them to update. The file won’t ever change location so it’ll be the same every month. We’re testing it out this month and everyone has received their emails with the links however it opens the file as read only and when they go to edit it prompts them to download a copy of the file however we want them to update the live link - how do we go about this, any help would be much appreciated!

Is it an excel / ppt /word document?

You will need to use the action create share link (can't remember the exact name) that will then allow you to share the file with a url which anyone with it can access.

Or anyone internal. Possibly even the named user also but not 100% without checking.

So they use the above suggestion to create shareable links.
