  Key Concepts: 
  Data locking is a feature in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to lock data in a report or story to prevent it from being changed. This feature is useful for ensuring that the data in a report or story remains consistent and accurate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use data locking, users must first enable the feature in the SAC settings. Once enabled, users can lock data in a report or story by selecting the “Lock Data” option from the menu. This will prevent any changes from being made to the data in the report or story. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using data locking, it is important to remember that only the data in the report or story will be locked. Any changes made to the underlying data source will still be reflected in the report or story.
