It would be helpful if there was a lock expiry notification for a user - e.g. if I edit an Excel file using Box Edit and lock it for 1 hour, after 50 minutes I get a notification that there are only 10 mins remaining of the lock and to save my work.

I have multiple WW users that need to update a file and what tends to happen is that they lock the file indefinitely 'just in case' and then they forget to unlock and it inconveniences a whole bunch of folks. Thx
