You can apply a **Lock** to any widget or element in ProSite to prevent it from being accidentally moved or modified. The lock applies to that specific element only - not to any nested children inside it.

## Locking a single element

1. Right-click the widget or element you want to lock.
2. Choose **Lock** from the context menu.

The element is now protected and cannot be changed until you unlock it.

## Locking multiple elements at once

1. Hold **Ctrl** (Windows) or **Command** (Mac) and click each element you want to lock.
2. Right-click any of the selected elements.
3. Choose **Lock** from the context menu.

## Unlocking an element

To unlock an element, right-click it and choose **Unlock**.
