Unlocking everything on a board

[Blue_luke]

THERE MUST be a way to unlock everything on a PCB design!
I am now completely stuck with a finished PCB layout that I want to move somewhere else on the sheet so I can copy some smaller boards and panellise for the same project.
Let me clarify…
I am retired now but I was quite good at KiCad V5, having achieved some excellent product a few years ago.
Then for the last few weeks I have a personal project and installed V7.
It is a bit different, and better, but I have to relearn a few things.
Now here…
I’ve designed a main PSU board for a project and unbeknownst to me I ended locking a bunch of vias and copper pours under some TO-220 regulators.
Now I have also some smaller boards accessory to the projects that I want to copy/paste on this main drawing to send to the PCB manufacturer.
My problem is that there is no way I can find to select, in fact I can’t even select everything (ctrl-A), on the PSU layout so I can move it and be able to import the two other layouts for panelisation.
The only workaround I can see for now is to use a sheet something like ANSI E size!
Ridiculous!
There’s got to be a way to unlock everything in a few key strokes nah?

Enable “Locked items” in the selection filter

Then select all and press L.

If you enable the checkbox for Locked Items that dsa-t mention, then you can include locked items in the selection.

If you then draw a big selection box around the PCB and press the lkey, then all items get unlocked.

Thank you dsa-t and Paulvdh ! That did the trick.
I did not know where to look for this function at first then realised that it was in plain sight!
It worked perfectly, thank you again!

There are MANY features and tricks now in Kcad !
