How can I stop conflicted copies?
We currently use Office documents, and when 2 users use the same file, the first user who saves the document saves the original file, and the second person who saves saves a conflicting copy. This is causing a lot of problems in our company and I would like this option to be set by the administrator. we would like if someone else accesses an open file it would show as "Read only"

Hey LJTSIRK, thanks for posting to our Community!
I moved your post to this relevant thread with more info about conflicted copies for you to check out.
And you can also take a look at this article that has info on how to avoid them.
I hope this helps!
Is there a way to automatically lock a file when opening and unlock when closing, so the process s simple and does not require additional steps? Otherwise employees always have to remember to lock and unlock. Needs to be automated to work properly.

No, there isn't.
