How to lock and unlock carts
When you lock a cart, other Marketplace users from your library or school will be able to view the cart's contents, but won't be able to edit them (unless they have all of the following Marketplace permissions: Users, Library site admin or School site admin, and Marketplace settings).
Locking carts
To lock a cart:
- Select Lock to prevent changes by others when you create the cart.
- Or, if you've already created the cart, go to your Carts page and click the cart's
icon.
Carts that you lock will have a 
icon and a "Private" label on the cart details page when viewed from your account.
Unlocking carts
To unlock a cart:
- If you locked the cart: Go to your Carts page and click the cart's icon.
- If you didn't lock the cart (but you have the permissions needed to edit locked carts): Go to your Carts page and click the cart's
icon.
