Alteryx breaking shared Excel links

I've got a number of workflows that are updating or overwriting Excel files that I've shared internally with various team members.

 

Whenever I run my workflow to update those files, the Office 365 links that I've shared for those files no longer work.

 

Any idea what I can do to maintain the sharing of those Excel files as I continue to update through through Alteryx?

I am having this same issue. 

 

I create an Excel 365 file that Overwrites Sheet or Range to a OneDrive folder. Every time I run the workflow and update the file, it kills the shared link and I have to re-share the link.

 

I also noticed that when the link breaks, the share icon is no longer on the actual file (this aligns), but it is on the bak file.
