Locking & Unlocking the Carousel

Locking and unlocking the Carousel allows you to control whether or not imagery refreshes when you pan or zoom.

When the Carousel is locked, available imagery does not refresh when you pan or zoom. This prevents you from losing your current image selections, stacking order, and stacking profiles. You cannot change filter settings or stacking profiles while the Carousel is locked.

When you unlock the Carousel, the viewport resets to your default settings. Your imagery and stacking selections also reset.
