According to this thread https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?86780-All-modules-and-official-content-in-fantasy-ground-is-fully-unlocked there's an unannounced change in that players are now able to edit things including books shared with them. Is this correct? And is it only in certain rulesets or across the board.

If the latter then there's an error in the 5e ruleset (and since it's a CoreRPG error probably across multiple ruleset). Where a book is shared with players a lock icon appears on the book index (I was testing with the 2024 PHB). However when clicking on this lock I get the following error Script execution error: [string "CoreRPG:../scripts/toolbar_button_field.lua"]:72: setValue: Unable to create node

Additionally this was the only lock icon I could see throughout the module; pages didn't have a lock icon, neither did classes, feats, items etc.

So what is the extent of this feature? (I have to say I'm a bit conflicted about it, I can see good and bad; mostly bad I think).

I hope this stays for Story entries and such so that Players can add map notes or edit story entries that can be save to a module and then used in another "campaign".

Edits are local to the current campaign only, normally.

From the other thread in OP:

May I add, unlocking text also enables the use of Narrator for text in Win 11 to be read aloud.
+1 on A lock option on the GM's end as a solution though.

Note: There's only me, so I can't test this.
