Lock a question or query

Sponsor users can lock questions and queries to prevent users from editing subject data.

Sponsor users assigned the Lock Subject Data Entered at a Site permission have the ability to lock questions and queries to disallow other users from modifying that subject's data.

If the item's data you would like to lock has been previously cleared, it may be necessary to refresh the page to view the Lock option in the menu.
