How to open only one file at a time on Google Drive

[DashboardNovice]

Hello,

We have many Excel documents saved to the Google. If I open one document and make edits, another person can open the same document and make edits on their own while I still have the same file open.

To prevent this, I would like to enable a feature where only one person can edit a file at a time. Also, if another person attempts to open an already opened file, they would have read-only access.

How can this be enabled?

in this case, you will protect the sheet.
