Lock Dataset

[KurtMan]

After a bit of searching, I stumbled upon an answer I've been looking for in regards to the meaning/purpose of locking a dataset. Nothing about it that I could find in the documentation.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when we choose encryption on a dataset, the lock state is unlocked for encrypted and accessible (decryptable), locked for encrypted.
Is there any design for locking a dataset other than if it's replicated?
Is there somewhere I can find a description?

Is there any design for locking a dataset other than if it's replicated?

If all you want to do is replicate the dataset, don't unlock it, replication can still handle it while locked as it replicates the encrypted blocks "as-is" and doesn't need the keys for that. If you don't provide the keys on the replica system, then the data is protected there too.

Is there somewhere I can find a description?
