💡 Feature idea: Add "unlock" icon to the toolbar when locked objects are selected

manuel

1. What you want to be able to do in MURAL

I've locked and unlocked a lot of objects and "areas" this morning and I wished for a "simple" addition. When I've selected some locked objects via CTRL + SHIFT + LEFT-CLICK, I wished there was an icon for "unlocking" to the toolbar that is displayed for the selected objects.

2. The problem you are trying to solve

I always have to perform a right-click on the right spots to select "Unlock Selection" from the context menu after the selection of several locked objects.

3. Why this helps everyone (or many people)

Wouldn't it save lots of clicks over my MURAL lifetime? ;-)

And yes, a keyboard shortcut for "lock" and "unlock" would be very helpful, too :-)

What if you had the ability as a Faciliitator to temporarily unlock all items then re-lock them? Wouldn't this be helpful to work on a Mural, then have the tool remember what was locked before and re-lock it? I can see using this feature all the time!

@gaselvin Yes, that would be helpful. That's why I've opened a thread about temporarily unlocking and relocking some time ago here. You're invited to join there:

Hi @SBarnes@manuel ,

Last Friday we released a number of enhancements to the lock/unlock experience, including "Lock in the toolbar" and Shortcuts.

Let me know what you think.

@Agus Well done! Thank you very much - I really appreciate the icon in the toolbar, the more prominent lock icons on objects etc. I expect more of our people using locks in the future because it has become more visible and easier to use for "non-pro" mural users ;-)
