There is no inbuilt functionality which is being provided by Blue prism to check it.​​<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Manpreet Kaur<BR />Manager<BR />Deloitte<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Tue, 20 Sep 2022 19:12:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/How-to-check-if-file-in-SharePoint-is-opened-by-another-user/m-p/84992#M36052 ManpreetKaur1 2022-09-20T19:12:00Z
