Uploaded excel file, but available for download only?

I uploaded an excel file without pivots or external links, yet it "is available for download only." How can this be fixed so I can upload the file and be able to edit it within Workiva?

    Hi Fernando,
    Welcome to the Community:) *insert mini welcome party here* Yay!

    Contrary to an upload, an import in Workiva allows you to open and work within your files. Compatible file types include: Wdesk Files, .docx, .xlsx., and .pptx. 
    I have included a link below with step by step instructions of how to an import, so you can make those changes on your spreadsheet (and other file types)  in Workiva.

    Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to reach out if any thing else does pop up:)
    Happy Monday!

    Thank you, this solved it. If you would make it clearer between the two and not have the import hidden in a menu that would be great! I would think most people would import files to work in rather than upload just to redownload them.

    Oh wow, yes I was having that same issue and this solved it for me. How lucky for me this was solved yesterday!
