yes, you are correct the common app locks once you do the first submit, and you cant change any part of it. (I saw rumblings elsewhere on this forum that the commonapp people were thinking of changing this, perhaps, but as of now that’s the way it is, and you are best off assuming it stays that way - it’s generally unwise to change a software program during its peak usage time, so I personally doubt it will change this year, but that’s just my opinion.)

When you print after filling it in online, they put an annoying ‘Applicant Copy’ splattered across the page in the background, but it is still pretty legible, so one could send it in after filling it online. You should see how it looks and decide if you are comfortable with it, or want to fill in a downloaded form.
