## Inheritance modes

For any query part you build as part of a query in your [Query Library](/v1/docs/query-library), you can configure that part’s **Inheritance Mode:**

- **Unlinked / Unlocked (default):** The query part can be edited by the end user building a query with the part, and changes to the query part in the query library do not cascade to parts as they’re implemented in end users’ queries.
- **Linked / Locked:** The query part cannot be edited by the end user building a query with the part. Changes to the query part in the query library cascade to the parts as they are implemented in end users’ queries.
- **Linked / Unlocked**: Changes to the query part in the Query Library cascade to their descendants in other queries, but the end user can make changes to those parts where they implement them in their queries.

## Locked Query Library parts

When a user builds a query using a **locked** Query Library part, they find the query part’s details are read-only:
