| **Sprite Frame field edit lock override** | Overrides the field locks that the asset importer sets in the **Sprite Editor** tab. When you enable this setting, the **Name**, **Position**, **Border**, and **Pivot** options in the **Locks** dropdown become available for locked fields, so you can unlock those fields and edit their values in the **Sprite** overlay. **Create/Delete** also becomes available, so you can create and delete sprites. When you disable this setting, Unity grays out the options for fields that the asset importer locks, so you can't edit them. Unity disables this setting by default. |
