Within the ribbon settings, users with the required permissions can lock a thread to prevent any further replies or updates by clicking the Lock Topic button in the List Tools > Items ribbon of the Discussion Board Plus list or by selecting the Lock Topic option in the item drop-down menu for a topic.

- Existing posts cannot be edited.
- New replies cannot be posted.
- Answers cannot be suggested, verified, or removed.
