# Lock Reusable Blocks

## Description 

Lock Reusable Blocks in the editor to avoid unintentional global changes.
Editing reusable blocks in posts is locked, and you have access to two actions when you select a reusable block in the editor:
- Edit the reusable block (opens the block editing page in a new tab)
- Convert to regular blocks (native action)

Options are availables in Settings > Writing screen to hide Edit and Convert reusable blocks buttons in block overlay.
