If you rather read it here:
When you’re working on a design that has too many elements, you want to avoid accidentally moving one — especially in our carousel templates that have elements that are already perfectly split.
In these cases, the lock tool in Canva really comes handy. It’s super easy to use: just click the lock icon on the top right when you want to lock or unlock an element.
Only unlock when you’re ready to change the color or delete elements from your design. Otherwise, leave it locked.Enjoy!
