## Locked cells

Some dashboard cells are locked by default.

Dashboard cells may be locked because:

- The dashboard was automatically created when a device was onboarded and by default these cells are locked. The cells are locked to ensure the dashboards display data in a consistent manner and to prevent accidental change.
- The dashboard was created as a custom dashboard and the cell contains advanced functionality that should not be changed.

If you would like to make changes to a locked cell, ask your administrator to contact support as charges may apply.
