Protect

Context

This password locking mechanism allows you to share your networks to make sure they will not be modified by unauthorized users.

When a network is locked, you cannot validate and save the modifications done in the Node Editor, add or delete arcs and nodes, associate dictionaries and databases for learning, modify classes, etc.

However, you can still edit the costs associated with the nodes as they are utilized only in the Validation Mode (e.g, Adaptive Questionnaire, not observable nodes, etc.).
