I had 2 'Guests' on my outlook excel file with personal information. Last one's name 'Sugarberry' . I could not get them off as they were not listed on my 'Share' list of guests.

    I just opened a word document and a dialogue box opened with the words "sugarberry is here with you" next to the comments button. Must be some sort of internal bug or glitch because I didn't share that document

    Have the same problem tonight.

    Got visited by "Spurge", then followed by "Citrus" into the excel.

    I'd changed the manage access to "Specific People" instead of shared link which no one had shared out.

    And the adjustment to "Specific People" is taking forever to loop and set up the new link. Currently... still not working...

    I had the same problem yesterday, only with a Word doc not Excel. I just pressed "share" to share with my other email. Nothing happened. No window asking who I wanted to share with. Than suddenly these "guests" started appering! There were so many of them. Started with Kholrabi, Beetroot, Chives, Clover- than Sugarberry, Pineberry and Mesquite. ****? I have no idea who has seen this document which was private and confidential. Does anyone have any idea what`s going on??

    I had a Tangerine in my document as well. I still have not heard back from Microsoft.

    Did you happen to have the Numerous.AI add-on installed?
