 # Multi User File Locking
+#### Last updated on June 11, 2020
 The Enterprise File Fabric provides federated locking services across all mapped storage providers, even if those storage providers don’t support locking themselves.
@@ Line 40: / Line 41: @@
 When an office application (Microsoft Office, OpenOffice or LibreOffice) opens a document through a File Fabric cloud drive a lock file is created. This file is detected and File Fabric automatically creates the same lock file in the CIFS filesystem. Office applications that are accessing CIFS outside of the File Fabric will then know that the file is locked.

+Note that implicit locking is not supported for the older Microsoft Office file formats such as .xls, .doc and .ppt.  Files of these types can be locked manually from the web File Manager or the desktop tools.
