    Hello!

    https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CollaborateInProgress.html
    (TLDR: need code version!)

    Basically I have several files which are shared on collab, but I need to be able alert users myself, when the files being edited by my editor scripts are currently being edited by someone, so I need to be able to query if a file is in use by team member via editor script.

    This is a helpful enhancement because otherwise people will need to go and check manually (favourites etc) and that's time consuming and generally bad, prone to forgetfulness etc... Would need to know if a file is modified remote or local (in use, basically, either end).

    The functionality is already there obviously, but I'm not sure how to access it via editor scripts. I've heard of teams using a special toy or hat for who should edit a file but I don't think that works so well over the internet...!
