Locking an Overlay
After running an overlay and reviewing the results, lock the run to make it the overlay's official output for the forecast version it belongs to.
How to lock:- After a successful run (status "Ready"), the Lock toggle in the toolbar becomes active
- Click it — that run is designated as the overlay's official result for this version
- Pins the completed run as the official overlay output that charts, comparisons, and reports read
- Prevents new runs for this overlay on this version while locked — the result stays stable
- Locking is per overlay + version pair: an overlay copied into another version is locked (or not) there independently
To re-run a locked overlay, unlock it first (the same toggle), run again, and lock the new result.
Lock vs. Run — the key distinction:- Run = compute the overlay's impact (repeatable while unlocked)
- Lock = designate a completed run as the official output (reversible via unlock)
Lock or unlock through the assistant
In Agent mode, ask to lock a specific completed overlay run in its version, or unlock that overlay. Each action requires Allow/Deny. The server only locks a successful run belonging to that overlay/version and the version’s current locked baseline. A run from another baseline is refused. Unlocking does not start or cancel a run.
