Want to overwrite the SharePoint file even when its being edited.

My power automate flow fails when I am trying to update a SharePoint file, as it is in open state. 

  • Since it's a shared file and anyone might have it opened, how do I make sure that it is edited through the flow, without any errors?
  • Another issue in sharing is, even when the person has closed the file at their end, it still is locked until a few minutes. How do we handle this issue?

Please suggest.

 

Thanks.
