Description
General
- Display time left instead of date+time: "30 minutes left"
- "Locked by Text" → "Locked by Text app"
- Nice to have: Add app icon if it’s locked by an app
- Action menu placement
- "Lock file" action should go below "Details" in action menu
- Lock info part all the way to the top
- "Unlock file" directly below the info part
- Add error code for when the file is not locked, in that case clients would not show any error when you "Unlock file" and just "unlock" it
Web
- Text: Align read-only note to position of toolbar
- Generate activity for intentional locking (not for when you just open an office document though)
- #46

Research direction
Start by locating the web interface components for the toolbar, action menu, lock information, and read-only note, then review the locking error handling used by clients. Done means the listed wording, placement, timing, intentional-lock activity, app icon, and not-locked response behaviors are addressed; issue #46 is relevant to activity generation.
