Lock Folders

Locking a folder prevents any changes from being made to the content of the folder.

Keep in mind the following points before locking a folder:

— To unlock a locked folder, you must have License Modules > SPT (Submission Planning and Tracking) set to at least Write, and Functional Security > Review and Approval set to Yes in Security Administration. All child folders are also unlocked.

— The location of the locked folder in the assembly tree cannot be changed; that is, you cannot move the folder up or down, and you cannot promote or demote the folder.

— If you move the locked folder parent element, the folder moves with its parent. — You cannot change elements in a locked folder.

— You cannot add elements to a locked folder.

— The locked folder and its contents cannot be duplicated directly or deleted.

— The locked folder parent element cannot be deleted.

— Structure locking an assembly will lock in place Folders, Leaf elements, documents.

— In the sequence view, when a folder and its contained elements are locked, the locked folder icon is not displayed, but the folder is shown as read-only.
