Bharath Arja Thanks for the information. Im accessing the file through our sharepoint site, it states that the file is checked in. Users with proper permissions are able to checkout the file but are unable to edit do to the "Sorry you cant edit this document with others" error. Checking in and checking out the file does not change this error.
- Are users unable to edit the document in browser?
From your original post, I assumed that the issue is only when editing documents in office desktop apps? Hence i suggested to check any cache issues.
Just looking at the error "Sorry you cant edit this document with others" - Is there a chance that user might have document open in a different tab or different browser session?- Users are unable to edit in browser and on the desktop app. I verified and made sure that there was only one tab open.
