When you select a port in this view, the port is selected in all other views where it appears.

In this view, you can assign a port to an I/O region or location, lock an assigned port, and unlock a locked port.

Note: You can only lock ports that are currently assigned to a location. Block ports have a plus sign (+) in front of them to indicate that they can be expanded to show connected ports and instances.
