Posted on by 1,247 Super User 2024 Season 1

I have an excel online file that i am updating using MS flow, my flow fails when some users have this file opened. I would like to override this .

 

I have tried using discard check out but that does not seem to work . Also in my case wait until the user closes the file does not work unfortunately
