Locked Admin Questions in CommCare: Collaborate Safely on Shared Apps

This video is a demo of CommCare's locked admin questions—a new way to control exactly which parts of a CommCare app can be edited, and by whom. When a central team owns the core app and data architecture while other teams adapt it for their local contexts, locked admin questions let you lock the pieces that matter most—the ones your data architecture relies on—while leaving everything else open to edit. You grant freedom where it's safe and guardrails where it counts, so collaborators can work in parallel without risking the structure underneath. Watch it in action: setting the new lock-and-unlock permission under roles and permissions, locking individual questions or entire groups in the form builder, and seeing what a teammate without that permission experiences.
