Unlock
POST /wopi/files/(file_id)
Releases the lock on a file. The WOPI client passes the lock ID established by that previous Lock operation in the X-WOPI-Lock request header.
This operation works as follows:
- The WOPI host checks if a file is currently locked or not.
- If the file is unlocked, or if the file is currently locked and the X-WOPI-Lock value does not match the lock currently on the file, the host must return 409 Conflict ("lock mismatch") and include the X-WOPI-Lock response header containing the value of the current lock on the file. In the case where the file is unlocked, the host must set X-WOPI-Lock to the empty string.
- In the case where the file is locked by a third-party client, hosts should still always include the current lock ID in the X-WOPI-Lock response header.
