How do I close a Storm?
Closing a Storm makes it read-only so that no more changes can be made.

-
Select the Storm you would like to close and click the Storm menu (three dots next to the Storm name).
-
Select "Close Storm".
3. A new window will pop-up to confirm you want to close the Storm. Click "OK".
