# Lock/Unlock DMP Content

Access: DMP Administrator

Within an in-progress DMP (a DMP in any status other than "Nationally Released"), DMP Administrators can choose to lock DMP content to prevent further modification by the assigned DMP Contributors. The decision to lock the content will be established according to the business rules set by the Home Telehealth National Training Center staff. DMP Administrators can choose to lock all content in a DMP or lock single question(s) at the question/statement level.

NOTE: DMP content with a "Locked" status cannot be deleted from a DMP.
