Hello experts,
I am getting this error after trying to test the flow for multiple times and not sure what caused this error to come up. 
Does anyone have idea how to resolve it.
I couldn't find solution to this kind of similar questions online.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
pthapa

    HI,
     
    Please... share your flow. You cannot just show an error and get answers. While we can guess its painful to keep doing it every single person.
     
    If you have a flow that runs against a file that others can manually open, it will never work
     
    That's the answer, it will never work.
     
    If its locked because of something you are doing in the flow, then you need to add a Wait action, and wait 3-10 minutes after you do whatever to the file
    and then it should be unlocked.
