How to enable the Lock filter in Lightning Report Builder?

In reports and dashboards superbadge, I cant validate challenge number 5 as trailhead says one of my reports, the 'Lightning Hobbies by Contact' report does not appear to have a locked filter. Documentation says that the filter can be enabled in report builder, but I can't find it. I can only see and edit the filters. Where is the option to lock the filters? Does it need to be enabled anywhere? Thanks!

I got stuck on the same one. You need to create the report in Lightning Experience. The lock option is available there.

Just to clarify - in case other people block on this later - the report does not need to be created in Lighnting, but at least edit the filters in Lightning.

Is there a way to set up a report so that users can change filters but not delete the filters? Locking the filters seems to make it so you cannot delete or edit the filters values.. We want to leave the fitlers so that users cannot delete them, but still let them change the filter values..
