Locking and unlocking questions in a FaceCode interview

You can lock the code editor for the questions in your FaceCode interview. This will help you with better proctoring over your interviews.

FaceCode has introduced the feature of locking the code editor for a programming question in FaceCode. This will allow you to prevent the candidates from making any changes to the solution that the candidate has written for the questions. You can also unlock these questions whenever you want. This feature will help you control the amount of time you want to give to a particular candidate to solve the question in a FaceCode interview. This will also provide better proctoring over your interviews, as candidates cannot edit a locked question after looking for a better answer online. Each interviewer can lock their questions separately if there are multiple interview rounds.

To lock a particular question in the FaeCode interview, follow these steps:

1. Join the FaceCode interview as an interviewer.
