To prevent the execution of a Test Run by mistake and overwriting current results, you can use lock option. When a Test Run is locked, it is not possible to change task state, execute or reset image creation or comparison, change variants or reporting status until it is unlocked again. Mass Execution and scheduling will not run on locked test runs. Deletion in Test Plan stops at first locked Test Run. You are informed about locked Test Run by the lock icon in the Test Plan tab of Test Management and by a message with a description and a user name.
You can change lock state of a Test Run by selecting from the context menu of a Test Case name in Test Plan (or select it from the context menu of the root task in the Test Case) and selecting the 'Lock Run' (or 'Unlock Run') from context menu.
Clicking on 'Lock Run' option, opens a popup window where you can set the description of the reason to lock Test Run. Clicking on 'Unlock Run' unlocks the Test Run directly.
