Lock a layer

When you've placed content as desired on a layer, you can lock the layer to avoid inadvertent changes to the content by you or by others working on the document.

  1. In the Timeline, click the black dot under the Lock column, next to the Logo layer.

    A padlock icon appears, indicating the layer is now locked.

  2. With the Selection tool, try to drag the logo that appears along the top of the Stage.

    You can't drag the logo, because the layer is locked.

    Note: If you accidentally drag something from an unlocked layer, press Control+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Macintosh) to undo your change.
