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

Lock Collection comes with two levels of lock:

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

When you might want to lock a collection

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

With Lock Collections, you can give clients 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 clients 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.
