Protect Editing

Protected Editing is a feature that prevents accidental edits to important documents while still allowing authorized users to make changes when necessary.

How to enable Protected Editing

To enable Protected Editing:
    Open a doc and click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
    Toggle on Protected Editing.

Protect Editing can only be enabled by channel admins.
Enabling Protected Editing on a parent doc will automatically enable Protected Editing on all sub-docs.
To remove Protected Editing from a sub-doc, you will need to remove Protected Editing from the parent doc.

Interacting with a protected doc

When a doc is protected, you will see:
    A PROTECTED label at the top of the doc.
    A blue banner at the bottom of the doc.
  • If you have Writer permissions and need to make changes, click the Edit button in the blue banner.
  • If you don't have Writer permissions, that won't change anything for you.
