Protect a Chart from being closed/deleted?

Is there a way to prevent a chart from being closed/deleted? For example, if I click the close button I get a prompt that asks "Remove chart window for <Symbol> #<chart-number>" - I have some charts that are "background" support charts and would like to prevent accidentally removing them.

Thanks.

That protection is the prompt itself which exists now. Just simply press no.

How about a way to see if a chart is being referenced by any other charts? For example if a chart has a study that is being used in another chart "Study to Overlay". Basically, a way to see if there are any dependencies on the chart that I might want to remove... Thanks.

I have this exact question -- is there a way to see what other charts are dependent on the chart being deleted or modified, other than looking at the list of studies for every other chart in the chartbook for references to the chart under consideration? Thank you for any guidance you can offer on this.

Yes you can see this on the title bar of the Chart >> Chart Settings window:
Chart Settings

And we did add the chart numbers referencing a chart when you close the chart, in the pop-up prompt. This will be in the latest prerelease.

Is it possible to lock drawings for that entire chart book? The reason I ask is this is an option they have on Tradingview and I found it very helpful. Most are limited regarding screen space, meaning some times charts displayed can be small. When referencing those charts, it is easy to accidentally click a ray or drawing and delete it.
