I have several pages that consist of tables of values for reference. It works really well as a curated guide.
The only thing that makes it iffy for me is when scrolling through, particularly on the mobile app, I’ll accidentally end up tapping into edit mode and things go glitchy. I’m afraid I’ll inadvertently change a value and not notice it.
A tick box to lock a page into view-only mode would make this a rock solid tool forever and always. IMO. Thank you.
I agree with you. I easily change the tab/indentation in mobile app.
Similar idea: Add a setting to control how to enter edit mode
In my opinion, this feature is very important, and also should probably be very simple to implement. So quite a low-hanging fruit.
In my case, I have some pages with tons of content that I often like to review, but I don’t want to accidentally mess with it as I am going through it.
Another usage I have is that I am trying out the whole “use Obsidian and Logseq together”, with Obsidian being for long-form writing that I plan to publish elsewhere. I like that I can refer to these Obsidian pages and even specific headers from within Logseq, but sometimes when I am looking at those pages with Logseq it will swallow some empty lines and mess with the document. Here it would also be nice for Logseq to be read-only on those docs.
This feature would be like Notion’s database lock, where you can play around with the data without changing any of the database’s definitions.
Yeah in addition to this, I would like a way to lock individual blocks. Helpful for queries and dashboard pages. Really hope they’d implement this soon
I agree. This function is very important
Just another me too here …
I am using logseq on mobile pure and only as a reference to search for data. I have this setup with Syncthing as a sending only (desktop) and receiving only (mobile) side but when using Logseq on Mobile I regularly mis-finger (if that is a word) and get into editing mode.
A way to prevent that and disable the logseq editing functions would go a great way to make it easier to use on mobile for those who use it only as a reference.
Thank you.
Resurface this thread. It is really really important. Every time I touched my mobile (android) Logseq, I indent the blocks. It is super annoying. It’s been two years. I do think this one should be solved immediately.
I Agree. I only add content via daily Journal pages.
All other pages have queries to track actions, issues, etc. so if would be very useful to lock these.
Strongly agree with this, plz, or if someone would right a plugin to freeze say a certain page?
I also strongly agree particularly with this version of the proposal: being able to lock query blocks would make navigation much more smooth.
I strongly agree. I have many inline Math Equations in my notes. When I scan through my notes, a block may suddenly mess up if my cursor clicks it. Most of the time, I simply use the cursor to focus on a specific block instead of editing it. So a read-only mode is very useful for me.
Security is a primary concern. Accidental edits happen more frequently than we would like to admit. Without the feature it feels frail and brittle.
need the locking feature to a block too.
