Design Studio projects can be sealed to prevent changes to the data. You might seal a project, for example, after the design is complete, debugged, and tested to prevent users who import the project from rebuilding or overwriting the original build artifacts. When a project is sealed, the entities in the project cannot be changed in any Design Studio editor. If you import a sealed project into a different workspace, the project in the target workspace remains sealed.
Note:
Design Studio generates Exchange Format XML files for a sealed project during the initial import if the sealed project directory does not contain any .studioModel XML files in the project generated folder. Design Studio does not update the generated folder XML files for sealed projects during subsequent builds.Before distributing sealed projects, Oracle recommends that you generate the project Exchange Format XML files to reduce initial build times when team members import the sealed projects.
All editors in a sealed project display [Sealed] in the title bar to indicate that the project is sealed and cannot be changed.
To seal a project:
In the Studio Projects view, double-click the Project entity for the project that you want to seal.
The Project entity opens in the Project editor.
Click the Properties tab.
Click Seal.
The confirmation dialog box appears.
Click OK.
