Locking files in Collaborate

Whilst looking more into collaborate today and reading some documentation. The idea popped into my head of being able to lock a file while still using collaborate. The concept being if you are working on a current script or asset users of collaborate with elevated access can mark a script or asset as finished or locked. Meaning no one is allow to make an edit to the file. I was curious to see if this would be a feature anyone else would find of use or if you already know of some work around. Drop an idea below!

 

I like the feature but I'd probably not use it because the amount of pain you get when a user isn't available is not worth the hassle unless the file can be force-unlocked without hassle.
