Creative Tools - Easier Edits for Teacher-Locked Objects
Editing just got easier! Teachers can now adjust the properties of teacher-locked objectsโlike color, order, links, or voiceโwithout unlocking them. Locked objects will still remain uneditable by students, keeping your activities secure and streamlined.
