Automatically lock a Workflow

You may want to prevent submissions to a Workflow after a certain date. For example, if you have a Workflow to submit applications for a scholarship, you do not want to accept any applications after the deadline. Anvil’s Workflow locking feature also allows you to set messaging to be displayed to users when they try to access a locked Workflow.
