Locking and unlocking files
Lock a file to prevent other users from uploading a new version for 24 hours. This feature is enabled by organizational policy.
You can lock a file if you are a workspace administrator, contributor, or a user who has permission to update the file.
If another user is working in the file when you lock it, they receive a notification in the open file. If they save the file after you lock it, their file version saves as a conflicted copy.
By default, files unlock after 24 hours. Files can be unlocked at any time by the person who locked the file or by a workspace administrator. When the file lock expires or a workspace administrator unlocks the file, the user that initially locked the file receives an email notification.
If your

account is deleted from your organization, your locked files are automatically unlocked.Only the locking action locks a file. Opening or editing a file does not lock the file.
