Locked Elements in Canva

Locked Elements
User found that their elements were locked, and they couldn’t seem to unlock them to edit.
My Experience
I found this happens when I make a copy of a project or resize one to a new document. If I go to the Pages view, the page is locked, and I have to unlock it before I can do anything. It also happens randomly if I have an internet outage or leave Canva open (desktop install).
