# Extra locking options

As you edit a BlackBox in Prefab Mode, you will notice some extra options under the Options foldout:

These options allow you to customise how the Prefab behaves.

<table><thead><tr><th width="179.59375" valign="top">Property</th><th valign="top">Function</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><strong>Hide Transform</strong></td><td valign="top">When the Prefab is locked, the Transform (or RectTransform) component is hidden too. In addition, the Prefab cannot be moved, scaled or rotated in the scene view.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><strong>Keep Unlocked</strong></td><td valign="top">Note: Having both of these options off is the default scenario, where the Prefab behaves as locked regardless of where it's used.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">    <strong>When Nested</strong></td><td valign="top">When the Prefab is nested under another Prefab, it is shown as unlocked even if its <strong>Locked</strong> property is set to true.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">    <strong>If Variant Root</strong></td><td valign="top">When a Variant is created out of this Prefab and the Variant is being edited, the Prefab root shows as unlocked even if the original Prefab was set to be locked.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><strong>Selection Type</strong></td><td valign="top">The substitute selection mesh to allow selecting children made invisible by BlackBox.
