			'''Score locks do not backup and restore their lock settings.''' This is because blocks can't backup their database tables. We have a fix, but first we need the patch in http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-8270 put into core. Please vote for it:-).

	==How to use Score Lock==		==How to use Score Lock==
	Score Lock ~~is based on ActivityLocking v2~~.4 and ~~uses therefore tabs as teacher interface~~.		The Score Lock block adds two tabs to the standard general settings for an activity, resource or section. These tabs determine the condition for entry and how the lock will appear to the student before and after they enter the item.
	*The teacher must ~~first~~ add the ~~score lock~~ block to their course.
	*~~To lock an~~ activity, a resource or a section ~~simply click~~ the edit icon ~~behind it or behind the section topic.~~		===Basic steps===
	[[~~image~~:~~EditSectionModule~~.gif]]		*The teacher must add the Score Lock block to their course (see [[Blocks (teacher)\|adding a block]]).

	Score Lock includes a block, that is used for the first part of the installation: Installing its own tables. Since a part of Score Lock is still a hack, it requires for a modification of other tables and files. This is done in a second step, which is done with a switch in the global settings of the block. This will add to existing tables, backup your existing files and install the modified Score Lock files. Even if the installation (de-installation) should fail, you will be able to recover to your original moodle files. The remaining table adds will cause no problem, but will have to be deleted previous to a new installation.
