Replace a file using Graph API

Question

Hello,

I am trying to replace a file in SPO using Postman and Graph API as follows:

• method: PUT
• API: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive_id}/items/{file_id}/content

and instead of replacing the file it marks with check-out even if the library is configured with Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? = No

So we have to do another task to check in the file add a comment and in this way the file gets replaced.

This is not the way I want to replace a file.

Like this tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http is telling us that it should automatically replace the existing file with the new one in one go. But unfortunately it doesn't like I said above.

I appreciate any help here.

Thank you.
