Excel 2016 Add-in pane Removed From File After Open/Save in Aspose.Cells

When a workbook has a docked task pane that displays the content of an Excel 2016 add-in, opening the file in Aspose.Cells and saving the same file removes the task pane. If the source and target file extensions are renamed to ‘zip’ and the contents examined, it looks like Aspose Cells is dropping the xl/webextensions folder and contents as well as the xl/calcChain.xml files.

the code appears below:

        Aspose.Cells.Workbook workbook2 = new Aspose.Cells.Workbook("C:\\temp\\x.xlsx");
        workbook2.Save("C:\\temp\\x2.xlsx");

Is there a way to preserve this task pane in Aspose.Cells? This is pretty critical for the application.

Thanks,

Danny
