Protect and unprotect a library

To protect a library:

  1. At the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Library Information (Library information icon) button.
  2. Right-click the library and select Protect.

    The icons to the left of the library and all of the study objects within the library change to reflect a protected status.

    Note:

    You cannot delete study objects that are the direct children of a protected study object. After you protect a study object, you cannot select Undo, but you can select Unprotect.

To unprotect a library:

  1. At the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Library Information (Library information icon) button.
  2. Right-click the library and select Unprotect.

    The icon to the left of the library changes to reflect an unprotected status.

    Note:

    Unprotecting a library or a study object in a library does not affect study objects that you copied from the library into a study.
