How to Use the Admin Lock Feature

This article explains how to use the Admin Lock feature to prevent users from moving, editing, or deleting specific objects in a Powtoon. It applies to users with Org Admin permissions.

The Admin Lock feature gives Org Admins greater control over organizational branding by allowing them to lock objects in place within the studio. This is useful for protecting important branded elements such as logos, characters, images, and text.

Before you begin

You must have Org Admin permissions to use the Admin Lock feature.

What you can lock

You can apply Admin Lock to objects such as:

• Logos
• Characters

• Other studio elements that should remain unchanged

When an object is locked, other users cannot move, edit, or remove it while working on the Powtoon.

1. Select the object you wish to lock. In this example, we will use the admin lock on the large blue padlock.
   

2. Click on the Settings Icon .
3. Click on the Admin lock option.
   

1. Locate the Object you would like to unlock.
