API Call for the new feature "File locking"

I not find yet API calls for the new feature "File locking". When can we use API for locking and unlocking files for a user? It could a real powerful feature. Best regards. Thierry.

    The Dropbox API does offer some new endpoints for locking and unlocking files, as well as checking for locked files:

    Note that these endpoints are still in "preview" though, and so are subject to change. Also, they may not be available in the official SDKs yet, though they should be added the next time the SDKs are regenerated and released.
