When you’re working in the shape manager, you may want to lock certain shapes so that you don’t modify or delete them, accidentally or otherwise. You can, however, duplicate a locked shape. When a shape is locked, the shape-animated object is also locked.
For general information on locking objects and parameters, see Locking and Tagging Scene Elements [ Data Management ].
