Estimate Locking and Unlocking
Note: Only Admins and Project Owners have the ability to lock and unlock estimates.
In Ediphi, there may be times when you need to temporarily prevent others from editing an estimate. If you are an Admin or a Project Owner, you can lock the estimate to stop any further changes while still allowing others to view it. Once locked, no edits can be made until you unlock it again. See below for steps on how to lock and unlock your estimate:
