Lock and Unlock Pool Objects

Pool objects can be locked using the Lock keyword.

If a pool object is locked, then there is a small lock icon  in the upper right corner of the pool object.

The lock icon can have three different colors indicating different types of locks:

• Red:
  This lock is the System Lock. It is locked by the system and cannot be unlocked. In sheets, this is abbreviated as "SL".
  
• Gray:
  This lock is the Position Lock. It is locked by the software structure and cannot be unlocked. In sheets, this is abbreviated as "PL".
  
• Orange:
  This lock is the User Lock. It is locked by the user, and it can be unlocked. In sheets, this is abbreviated as "UL".
  

	Hint:
	The big red lock icon that can appear on pool objects is not a locked object using this lock mechanism. It is temporarily blocked by a user editing the object. Learn more in the Object Ownership topic.

Example

Locking appearance number 4 is done using the following command:

Unlock Pool Objects
