Lock Collections

Web Wisconsin • July 14, 2021

Protect your site and make your life simpler by locking specific collections so other can’t edit them, even if they have editing permissions.

If you’re using collections to build your site, you know how important it is to protect the integrity of those collections. Now, you can protect collections from editing with Lock Collections

Lock Collection comes with two levels of lock:

  • Lock completely prevents others from changing anything in the collection. 
  • Lock structure enables others to edit content and add rows. (Available with Internal Collections only)


When you might want to lock a collection

Let’s say your site connected to multiple collections. You may want others to be able to edit some of the collections, but not all of them. 

With Lock Collections, you can give others Full Editing or Content Library Permissions, and lock the collections that aren’t relevant to them. You’ll protect the content you want to protect while saving yourself time by enabling others to update what’s relevant to them. 

Lock Collections is available in the platform and via API. In the platform, open the Content Library > Collections and click on the cog icon beside the name of the collection you want to to lock.
