### Operations that result in a return to the padlock mark

### Operations that do not cause a return to a padlock mark

The protected document does not return to a padlock mark even when any of the following operations is performed. However, the thumbnail of the document returns to a padlock mark if the password to open it is temporarily not retained, or an attempt to edit or rename the document is made from outside of Desk.

- Workspace operations in general
- Plug-in operations
- Renaming, moving, or copying a local folder containing the protected document.
