Modifications are not allowed on XXXXXX - The component is not editable

CATIA V5 whiz here, but total 3DX noob. I create a part, save it. Close it, come back and try to modify it. I can't, get an error saying: Modifications are not allowed on XXXXXX - The component is not editable

Plus some no-go looking icons on the spec tree. See attached image.

What am I missing?

Running 3DX R2018
Thx.

I believe I solved my own problem. Lock it! Or well, in 3DX parlance Reserve it. I guess I'm used to ENOVIA V5 autolocking newly created part ref, instances & docs.

So my follow up question is: Where might I find that toggle to autolock newly created part in 3DX?
