Extra facilitator locking capabilities

Manage who can move objects in your mural with this facilitation superpower.

Your facilitator superpowers in MURAL

As a facilitator, you have extra capabilities that set you apart from other collaborators. When you set up an activity with your team, you don’t want anyone to move around objects you’ve added

Before you invite collaborators into your mural, the facilitator lock—or superlock—can prevent collaborators from actually moving these objects.

Lock verus superlock

The lock feature is available to anyone collaborating in the mural. This prevents anyone from moving content during a meeting or workshop. However, anyone in the mural can unlock one or all of the content with the regular lock feature.

Superlock restricts locking and unlocking content to anyone with the facilitator power in the mural. You can tell who is a facilitator by checking that they have a star on their avatar in the mural.

How to superlock objects

  1. Select the objects you want to lock
  2. Right-click the objects and move to lock in the dropdown menu
  3. In the menu, select either any members can unlock or only facilitators can unlock
  4. If you are looking to select multiple locked objects, check out our inclusive selection shortcut.

To unlock the object, right-click the element and select unlock from the drop down menu
