If I change the scale bar in the canvas the composer change also. I try to use those options but with no success.
This is the canvas screen:
If i using "Sync composer with map" plugin after i chnging the scale, then the composer scale change also.

If you want to fix a map on a specific scale in the map composer, then click on the
Data defined override -> Edit ->
(as you can see below) and enter the scale value that you want (only number), for example 100000.The above procedure will fix the scale, but will not fix any addtional layer that you may put on the map view. If you want freeze the map composer to show only specific layers, then click/check
Lock layers for map item
located under the scale.If you want freeze the extent, then copy each value of xmin, ymin, xmax, and ymax, and click
Data defined override -> Edit ->
and paste each value to its corresponding box. This will fix the extent completely.
