Can I lock my survey?

Yes. Once a project is moved into “analysis/clean up” mode then no new records can be added.

Instruments are locked once the project is in “production mode”. They can only be changed if the changes are submitted as a draft version and reviewed and approved by a REDCap administrator. There are no real-time changes made to a survey in production mode.

Projects can be moved to “inactive” or “archive” status if data collection has been completed.

It is also possible to lock records and instruments. It is important to note that instrument level locking and record level locking are independent features that are governed by separate user privileges. You must have explicit permission for either one in order to perform that specific locking action. Also, record locking is a higher-level locking than instrument locking, which means that an entire record may be locked or unlocked while one or more instruments are currently locked, but an instrument cannot be locked or unlocked while the entire record is locked.
