File Edit Lock

Locking a file prevents others from modifying its content. Useful for preventing accidental changes to a finalized document or an official file.


Setting and Releasing a Lock

Right-click a file and select Edit & Version > Edit Lock. To release the lock, select Unlock Edit in the same menu.

The user who locked the file can still modify it without unlocking it first.

  • Locked files show a lock icon next to the file name.
  • Only the user who set the lock and administrators can release it.
  • A file that is already locked cannot be locked again by another user.
