# Lock/ Unlock Blueprint

No unwanted changes

Lock and unlock projects, ensuring you **preserve** particular Designs or Blueprints. Your collaborators can duplicate it to make changes, but your initial version can only be unlocked and edited by you. 

  
**Locking Projects:** Prevents other users from making changes, keeping your work protected.  
**Read-Only Access**: Others can view the project but cannot modify it.  
**Duplicate for Collaboration**: Users can duplicate a locked project to continue working without altering the original.
