Description

Describe the bug
When I open an excel file and I save it, the app only show "Save as a copy" and not other options.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open an excel file
  2. Click Save from Excel
  3. Excel show "Save as a copy"

Expected behavior
I would like to open the actual file and not a copy of it, so I can edit it and then save.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the save flow on the reported Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with Android 13: open an Excel file, choose Save from Excel, and compare the available options. The issue names no source file or test, so trace the file-opening and saving entry points first. Done means editing the original file is possible rather than only creating a copy, including for other file types.
