Lock a file

This feature is available after applying for WORKS Drive or the Standard or Standard Plus plan of NAVER WORKS Core.

If you do not want other members to edit the files shared in Drive, you can use the 'Lock File' function. When a file is locked, members other than the person who locked the file can only read the file and cannot edit the file with the same name.
