With TitanFile's Lock Channels feature, you can lock and unlock channels. Locking channels can be useful for use cases where:

 

  • You want to prevent all contacts from accessing the channel's files
  • You don't want new information to be added to the channel

 

Locking a channel

To lock a channel, first, open the channel you wish to lock. Then, click on the channel's menu and select Lock Channel.

 


A few things will happen once a channel is locked:

  • The message box and Attach Files, Attach Folder, and Send buttons will disappear
  • An error message will pop up when a contact tries to download a file
  • A red "Locked" indicator will appear in the channel's header
  • The channel will remain locked until it is manually unlocked by a channel owner

 


 
Unlocking a Channel

To unlock a channel, go to the channel's menu and select Unlock Channel. Only channel owners will be able to unlock channels.
