Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The message "file is locked for editing" usually appears when concurrent update controls are in place. These controls prevent multiple users from editing the same file simultaneously and avoid conflicts between changes. It is likely that another user already has the file open or Chaz himself opened the file on another device without closing it properly.
