"I can't edit this launch", the usual causes

Last reviewed Sep 6, 2026

Why a campaign record is locked

If a campaign record won't let you make changes, check these in order.

Status and permission checks

1. Check the campaign's status. Editing is deliberately locked once a campaign is committed and awaiting approval. See Why I can't edit a launch that's awaiting approval.
2. Confirm you're the campaign's owner, or hold a role with edit permissions, such as Marketer, Admin, or Owner.
3. If the campaign is locked for approval and you need to change something, withdraw it first. See Withdrawing a committed launch.
4. Check whether the campaign has already reached Launched status; a live campaign's core details aren't meant to be edited after the fact.

When the lock is intentional

This is usually working as intended rather than a bug; the record action bar always reflects exactly what's editable at the campaign's current status. See The record action bar: what you can do at each status.
