I am seeing file is locked for editing by another user. How can I see who has this file locked?
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel etc) create lock files with a ~ in the name (e.g. ~Workbook.xlsx). This will be owned by the user who has locked the file.
If you have file-level permissions enabled, this will be the person.
In your explorer, right click on the column bar and add a column ‘Owner’. This will now show you who has the file locked.
