Locked Fields on Published Documents

The system supports the ability to select fields that cannot be modified in already published documents

You can find this feature under Documents » Settings » Locked fields on published documents.

Available Options

By default, the following fields can be selected for locking on already published documents:

  • Document name
  • Category (If you choose to lock the Category field, it will not be possible to move published documents to a different category without first creating a new version.)
  • Tags
  • Bundling navigation
  • Extra Fields (Any custom fields you have created will be available for selection.)

If your site has enabled either or both of the features Revision per documents and Concerns and reading receipt per document, these options will also be available for locking on already published documents.

How the Feature Works

Under the publish button, you will find the fields that have been selected for inclusion with the document during publication. In the image below, you can see that the Category field is marked as locked, indicating that no changes can be made to it. However, you still have the option to add or modify Tags, Prefix and "Informationsklassning" for the already published document (refer to the settings in the image).
