Locking a profile prevents most edits from being made to it, which is useful for protecting finalized or sensitive records.
To lock or unlock: use the three-dot menu, or click "Unlock" directly on the Locked status banner if you have edit scope.
Things to know:
Non-admins are blocked from editing a locked profile entirely.
Admins can still edit a locked profile, locking doesn't restrict admin access.
Locking is separate from Off-Limits and Snoozed; a profile can carry multiple statuses at once.
Example: Locking a placed candidate's profile prevents accidental edits to their final compensation or start date after the deal has closed.
