Lock saved Estimates

Presales teams have a habit of reviewing old saved estimates, testing changes out, and accidentally saving over the old copy. Unfortunately, we really have need of those for historical tracking. Yes there is an option to expand the dropdown and select 'save as', but it is quite easy to accidentally hit 'Save'.

Could we have a method to Lock the Estimate? like when we are done with our revisions and we've sent a version to the client, I'd like to lock that estimate.

Another option is for peace of mind when working on a project- I can open estimates saved by anyone from my organization... a lock could mean that user's can only clone-not overwrite- estimates created by anyone else.

I like this idea!
Making it so only the creator can edit an estimate when it's in an "approved" status could be helpful.
Cloning to make any modifications is exactly what we do, but like Matthew pointed out, there's nothing stopping anyone from overwriting an existing estimate.

Maybe add a way to overwrite an existing estimate only if an approval is approved?
