Perspective upload failed with document open

If I try to upload an Excel file while it's open, I get an upload error.

If I close the file, the upload will continue and complete successfully.

Does anyone have a guess on this and if there's anything I can do to handle it gracefully (at least show a more specific error)? For now, I've only seen this for Excel files.

Excel must be holding an exclusive file lock. Fix Excel?

Yep, I did a good ole goog and that appears to be it.
