      Layout Library: Locking Content

      Locking content is an invaluable feature when creating a template. It ensures that specific sections remain unchanged, protecting critical elements from being modified or inadvertently altered.

      Scenario
      CitylifeBank use a template for their Interview Packs. To ensure the packs remain consistent and professional, they don't want the colour scheme or cover page heading to be changed. To do this, they simple lock the contents and settings in the template, so when it's used they can't be altered.

      How to Lock a Panel

      • Select the panel that you would like to lock.

      • Select the 'Layers' palette found at the top right-hand of the screen.

      • Select the padlock icon.

      The following options will then be available to select:

      1. ‘Lock Position & Settings’
      2. ‘Lock Content’.

      1. Lock Position & Settings

      Selecting this option will lock the position and settings of the panel.

      • The panel cannot be hidden as the the Position is locked.

      • The colour option cannot be changed as the Settings are locked.

      ​
      2. Lock Content

      Selecting this option will lock the contents of the panel.

      • The image cannot be replaced as the Content is locked.

      • The text cannot be altered as the Content is locked.

      Example

      This following video demonstrates how to lock a logo and main cover image in a template - notice how the panels are no longer editable when the template is used.
