This one's good. Let me to expand a bit.
This proposed "toggle" should prevent the user from making further revisions using KoBo Form, except:
- delete the form
- submit the form
Within KoBo Form, there should be no way to "un-toggle" it. Of course, other apps can edit the XML file directly, but this is on the assumption those apps are installed/installable in the device.
When checked, none of the answers can be edited. The questions are not editable from within KoBo Form.

Summary: A setting to toggle whether a form can be further edited in KoBoForm, or if it is "Locked" for editing. proposed use-case: In the panel for giving the form a name, provide a checkbox for "Read-Only". When checked, none of the questions can be edited. additional comments: There is no way to really protect the form, since it is just XML and can be edited in Notepad. However, it's worth offering something to let you know when a form is completed. If you are doing research, you don't want to have more than one version of the survey in use. Caveat, since there is no real user management in KoBoForm, there is no way to stop someone from un-checking the read-only toggle.
