Allowing Shared Users to Export Workbooks with Hidden Sheets

Allowing Shared Users to Export Workbooks with Hidden Sheets

I've read through the blogs and found out that once you hide at least one sheet from a shared user, they no longer have access to the export functionality to save a local copy of the sheet.  Is this correct?
 
Is there anyway to override this and still allow users to export the workbook even though there are hidden sheets (without having to set the hidden sheets to Read-Only)?  If not, is there any plan to perhaps allow the ability to export the workbooks and not include the invisible sheets? (i understand this may be tricky due to formulas referencing hidden sheets).
 
Thanks!
