Curious: suspension lockout?

Hi everyone,

Complete noob here...
So... 🤔 I don't know if I'm asking this the right way or if I'm even asking the right question. I was wondering about how and when to use suspension lockout - should you lock the fork while you're on the bike off? I.e. do you lock the fork and/or rear shock (if any) before you get on the bike or while you're riding? Would the front end and/or the frame sit lower if you lock the suspension out while your weight holds it down midway through its travel? If so, how does that affect handling and ground clearance? Thanks!
