Overview

Templates and pages are layouts that add and structure the content of webpages on your website. For multisite control of content, specific roles on a controlling site can lock whole templates and pages, or individual objects within them, i.e., zones, layout and widgets.

Child site users cannot add, edit or delete a locked object. If a whole template is locked, none of its objects can be changed. 

Overview

The content and organisation of a webpage are rendered by its template or page configurations. A template/page uses a specific layout and contains widgets that affect how the page looks and does. This content type can be completely locked so that its structure and every data item it uses cannot be edited or deleted. Or its data items can be individually locked. For multisite control, locked items can be deployed. 

Use case: CV Franchise HQ wants specific pages on all its franchisee sites to have a consistent look-and-feel. These pages along with images, layout, and widgets, were created, saved and locked on the source site, and then deployed to all franchisee sites.
