check in/out a document saved on sharepoint synced with OneDrive
I can't seem to figure out how to check out a document which is stored on Sharepoint but I edit through my synced folder using the OneDrive sync app. Aware that you can't check in/out on OneDrive...
You should also be able to check in/out directly from the Office apps.
Check in / out is not available in my office app when I edit a document which I have synced from Sharepoint using the OneDrive Sync app.
On the other hand, when I edit the same document through the Open with Explorer feature I see the function.

Within the Classic OD ( Return to Classic OneDrive) the Check Out/In options are available from the 3 dots (right click). No idea why this option is not retained in the modern style.
- Yes, check in / out is a very valuable feature, especially if you share documents. Shame to see this being dropped in OneDrive.
