About Unlock Options
When you connect a product option like Color, Size, or Material to a Shopify standard metafield (e.g., `shopify.color-pattern`), the option becomes locked in your admin. You can no longer rename values, add new colors, or delete the option from the Shopify UI. The only way to undo this is via the GraphQL Admin API — which means creating a custom app, getting an access token, and running mutations from a terminal. For most merchants, this is a multi-hour ordeal.

- Confirmation modal explicitly lists what will and won't change before unlock
