FAQs: Locking Content Blocks to Prevent Accidental Editing
What does locking a content block mean?
Locking a content block ensures that its content cannot be changed by other users. This prevents accidental edits and preserves important or approved material.
How do I lock a content block?
In the content library, select the block you want to secure and apply the lock option. Once locked, the block cannot be edited until it is unlocked by someone with the correct permissions.
Who can lock or unlock content blocks?
Typically, only administrators or users with sufficient permissions can lock or unlock content blocks. This ensures control over which materials are protected.
Why is locking content blocks useful?
Locking helps maintain brand consistency, prevents unauthorized or accidental changes, and protects approved templates or critical information.
Can locked blocks still be used in documents?
Yes. Even when locked, content blocks can still be dragged into documents and used as normal—the restriction only applies to editing the block inside the library.
