What is the method to prevent an audio layer from being edited?

The method to prevent an audio layer from being edited is to lock the layer by clicking the Lock icon. Locking a layer in storyboard or animation software is a common practice that secures its content against accidental changes, allowing you to focus on editing other layers without risk of modifying the locked layer. Once a layer is locked, it becomes inactive to user inputs, such as moves, deletes, or edits, effectively safeguarding the audio track you are working with.

This feature is particularly useful during the production process when multiple elements are being edited simultaneously, ensuring that critical audio layers remain intact while changes are made to others. By utilizing the lock function, the integrity of your audio editing process is maintained, preventing any unintended alterations.
