Hi @john john
It seems to be a by-design behavior.
Co-authoring only applies to users co-editing document content. When a user is editing the content of a document, other users cannot change the document properties.
Other users can only wait for the completion of the document modification.
If you need more information, you can go to user voice and post about it.
