You can protect or block a search to prevent any user in your domain from modifying it. This is useful when, for example, you create a particularly complex search and you don't want to risk accidentally modifying it.
- Open the search, then select Additional tools → Search actions → Block as template from the search window toolbar.
- The following message box appears to warn you that next time you open the search you will work in Incognito mode, which means that changes will not be saved. Select Yes, mark now.
The search is now blocked. The Incognito Mode icon appears in the toolbar whenever you are working with a blocked search. If you want to keep working with this search, click this icon to create a clone where you can save your changes.
You can also block searches from the Favorite searches and Search history lists.
Unblock a search
Blocked search are indicated with a lock icon in the Favorite searches and Search history lists. Blocked search can be unblocked in these areas by clicking the lock icon.
Be aware that even though the process of blocking a search is performed automatically, the process of unblocking requires an in-between step. For a search to be unblocked it is necessary to close it after clicking the lock icon and then reopen it from the Favorite searches or Search history sections.
