Sheet protection

Use sheet protection to protect individual cells against changes, and/or to hide their content on screen or in printouts. When sheet protection is enabled, all cells on the current worksheet are protected that are marked accordingly. Furthermore, many commands are greyed out (i.e. no longer selectable) and objects cannot be inserted.

However, before you enable sheet protection, you must first define which cells are to be protected and how extensive the protection is to be.

Protecting cells requires two steps:

Step 1: Setting up protection settings for cells

Step 2: Enabling sheet protection
