Lock/unlock records

PreviousUpdateNextUpdate custom fields

Last updated 1 year ago

The "Lock/Unlock records" action is used to prevent operations from being executed on specific records. It's useful when you want certain records to remain unchanged by bulk operations or automated rules.

Record lock status

The lock status is indicated by a lock icon in the "Locked" column.

Locking/Unlocking Records

There's no need to exclude already locked records when locking, or unlocked records when unlocking, as the system will automatically detect the status and execute accordingly.

  1. Select the records you wish to lock or unlock using the checkboxes in the data table.

  2. Under actions, click "Lock/Unlock Records".

  3. Two options will appear:

    • Choose "Unlock" to release records from lock

  4. Click "Apply" to submit your changes.

You might need to reload the page to see the changes.

Applicable models

This action is available for models that include create and update operations:

  • Campaigns

  • Ad groups

  • Product ads

  • Targeting

  • Negative targeting

Choose "Lock" to prevent records from being modified.
