Lock submissions

Lock submissions

Disable or enable submission on AhaSlides. Disable submission for specific slides can be useful if you need to explain a question before your audience votes, or for any other reason where you do not wish the participants to vote on a question at that moment.

Lock submissions from the Edit View:

  1. Select the slide you want to lock submissions.
  2. Open the 'Content' tab
  3. Check the box 'Lock submissions'


This will disable submission for that question. You can open it again later.


Lock submissions from the Presentation View:

  1. While presenting, on the slide you want to stop submissions, click on the icon "Lock submissions" 

2. To enable submission again, press the S key or click on the ''Open submission'' icon.
