So, there is now a pending request to add "locked workspace" functionality to MLO v2 for Android. If anyone wants to express their support or opposition or make any changes or suggestions please get them in within the next week. After that I will bring this request to the beta forum. This does not guarantee that the devs will like it or implement it but its a step. -Dwight
