# Locking Posts 🔒

_By Swathy  · Jul 11, 2024_

Post locking is a feature that makes a post read-only for its submitter. Admins can use this option to lock a post once it reaches a certain progress level or status. Additionally, admins can specify a reason for locking the post, ensuring transparency and clear communication with customers.

Only team members can edit these locked posts, ensuring your planning remains secure and protected from unexpected changes!
