We are able to put document files in sharepoint. Now we want to mark the file as final record. Is there any API to fulfill this requirment.

Hi @Vinay Hadule , Currently, there is no such api to mark a file as final. As a workaround, you could create a column on the document library called "_MarkAsFinal" (Yes/No). Then use API to update the column value. Here is a similar question for your reference: https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/279073/display-marked-as-final-status-for-a-document-in-sharepoint-online-document-li If an Answer is helpful, please click " Accept Answer " and upvote it.

Thanks Michael for response. I tried as stated in link but the patch method failed to update column value in request.

Api I am trying is drive/items/ (itemid) to patch data for it. Sent request as below

{
"name": "DocFinalTestP2.docx",
"_MarkAsFinal": "Yes"
}

But it returned error as below. Anyway you know to update newly added column value in document library through grap API.

{
"error": {
"code": "invalidRequest",
"message": "Invalid request",
"innerError": {
"date": "*****",
"request-id": "****",
"client-request-id": "*****"
}
}

You need to use the Update listItem endpoint to update the column value: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/listitem-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{item-id}/fields

Besides, for Yes/No column, use 0 or 1 for the vlaue.

{ "_MarkAsFinal": 1 }

Hi @MichaelHan-MSFT we tried as stated in link but it seems our share point is not having functionality to mare document as final manually too. We are trying same thing with etention labels which is new way suggested.

Although I tried using PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{item-id}/fields to update label but it returned. Thanks for your answer it seems correct we will have dig a little to expose those columns.
{
"_MarkAsFinal": false
