Lock Display of Evidence
========================

The *lock display of evidence* function can be activated either from the Lock Evidence item of the :ref:`View Menu<view_menu>` or from the lock evidence button in the :ref:`Run Mode<run_mode>` Tool Bar (the button shown in Figure 1).

The lock display of evidence function is meant to allow display of the likelihood entered. Normally (when the lock display of evidence is disabled), the :ref:`monitors<monitor_windows>` and the :ref:`Node List Pane<node_list_pane>` will for all nodes show the belief of a node being in each of its states. When the lock display of evidence function is activated, the monitors and Node List Pane will show the entered likelihood for all nodes with :ref:`likelihood evidence entered<enter_likelihood>`.
