Re: "Error:The file is locked" when using Office Online within SharePoint Online
Hi The best approach i have found so far is (get the user that has a lock on the file or yourself if you are the culprit) to go back into the document within office online and in the top right where it has a button that says Editing click and change to the view mode. This will unlock the current user from holding a lock on the file. Huw12KViews0likes5CommentsRe: "Error:The file is locked" when using Office Online within SharePoint Online
I have had the same issue recently as myself locking the file. Although it was resolved by clicking back into the file in office web apps and instead of closing the tab I clicked the library name at the top of the page so the browser navigated away from the page which managed to unlock the file. It could be to do with how they have hooked the onunload event to the page and how this is supported in different browsers and for different scenarios.45KViews1like6Comments
