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.
    Hover over Protected Editing and choose one of the following options:
  • Doc is protected
  • Doc and sub-docs are protected
  • Doc is not protected
Protect Editing can only be turned on and off by channel admins.

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.
