Locking decisions
Protect what is already approved before anything is generated.
Why lock
Most brands already have decisions signed off: a primary colour, a logo, a typeface. Locking them tells generation and AI suggestions to treat them as fixed.
How to lock
In Setup step 2 and on the Brand page, every extracted value has a Lock control. Locked values show a closed padlock and the count appears in the panel header.
- Lock early: anything locked shapes every direction proposed.
- Unlock only when the brand owner agrees; the change is recorded.
What a lock guarantees
A suggestion that would need a locked value to change is reshaped to respect it. For example, if teal.600 is locked for Light, a contrast fix for Dark proposes teal.400 for Dark only.
