Lockdown Design Elements and Avoid Mistakes

Graphic design brings together many different elements. From brand colors to logos and images, some are just simply not meant to change. With many people working to bring a project together, mistakes can happen. Simplified's component lock feature lets you lock certain elements of your design in order to ensure they won't be accidentally altered when collaborating with others.

How to Lock Layers in the Graphic Designer

1
Go the 'Graphic Designer' and select the design you want to work on.
2
Once you're in the design, select the ••• icon.
3
Then, select the component you want to lock and click the 'Lock' icon to lock the layer.
4
If you want to 'Unlock' a component, click on 'Layers' to find the component and click the 'Unlock' button.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I lock a component, am I the only one who can unlock it?

Anyone with access to the document can unlock the component by going into the layers. However, if an unauthorised change is made, you can see the change history to see who made the change and when.

Simple Design Tools Packing a Punch

The image tools and design tools are awesome. The tools work flawlessly and make actions like removing a background simple. When I discovered the Ai integrations, I didn't realize where the industry was with things like image generation and that sparked a whole new rabbit hole to explore.

Great canva alternative !!

I have switched from canva to simplified as they have fresh designs and everyone uses the same Canva designs so this helps to differentiate us from the usual designs seen online.
