Lock bullets (prevent accidental deletion)

Sometimes I delete a lot of bullets at the same time and accidentally delete some extra ones on which I have been working for some time. I do cmd+Z at this point of course, but there is always a looming risk to get smth lost forever (by closing the page, realising the mistake too late, etc.).

This is especially important when collaborating.

What if I could "lock" a bullet, so that it could not be deleted accidentally? Suppose that it would require to confirm deletion somehow or insert a PIN. I would welcome this features.

All the best,

  Locking would be great. Even better with encryption.

  My response to @Anton via his help desk ticket:

  > We are actually working on a "Trash can" feature that will allow users to restore previously/ accidentally deleted lists... so that may be a good compromise moving forward :-)

  So depending on how much you need this... You could create a serving WF account and share a non-editable version to yourself.

  We are using the new fractal boards as a Kanban board in shared mode.

  And it would be great if the users I have shared it to can only edit the tasks / sub-bullets; and not the columns. It is simply too flexible, and invites the users to make to much of a (creative) mess.

  We already have different access levels on the Share button. This would create a new level. Where the users can add sub tasks and edit tasks, and move tasks between columns. But not create new ( creative ) names for the backlog or add new columns. 

  If a board is nested inside a board, it's columns would also be locked. And the users would only be able to edit the items on the leaf nodes.

  This would render most other Kanban software out there obsolete. ( for us at least )

  This would be such a good feature to prevent accidental edits that can go unnoticed
