  2. In the top bar, select the “Edit NFC Tag” button
  3. Under the “NDEF” tab:
    • Click the “Add NDEF Record” and select an NDEF record type to add it
    • Click the “X” to remove an NDEF record or the “Clear” button to remove all
  4. Under the “Chip” tab (the name of this tab will vary based on the chip type):
    • Check the “Lock” checkbox to permanently lock a tag
