Quick Reference: Lock Shapes

  • Hero Image

    Enable or disable any form of editing on selected objects.

The Lock Shapes tool locks selected objects in your design, preventing any form of editing (including moving, resizing, deleting, changing text, and more). Use Lock Shapes to prevent unintentional design edits, secure graphics used for alignment, preserve templates, and restrict editing in collaborative projects.

Locking and Unlocking Objects

Lock selected objects by toggling the Locked state on in the Shape Properties Window, by going to Arrange → Lock Shapes, or by right-clicking the objects and choosing Lock Selected Shapes.

To Unlock and enable editing of a Locked object, toggle the Locked state off in the Shape Properties Window, go to Arrange → Unlock Shapes, or right-click the objects and choose Unlock Selected Shapes.

Tip

Use the Transform Control Toggles to restrict specific types of editing for the whole project.
