  • @jeremy_317
    @jeremy_317 11 місяців тому

    Great video! Is there any backend benefit/enhanced security by preventing any editing for the entire workbook upon initial entry (file -> passwords -> prevent editing = making it read-only) vs protecting/"locking" all sheets/ workbook from within the file itself (Review Tab -> Protect Workbook/Protect Sheet)?
    Other than differences in read-only versus locking from a frontend accessibility standpoint (still can unhide arrays in read-only for example), is it more advantageous to use both forms/"layering" of security, or will the locking-features from within a file be enough?

    What if all options like view only are unavailable? Nobody else is on this workbook while trying to make a change so IDK why I can't pick anything from the Info page/protect. I have the password but maybe it's because I'm not an author of this file?

I want to protect all of page 1, and on page 2; but as part of page 2 I want to leave a row of boxes for the client to click in to pick out options to insulate different scopes in their custom homes. Your assistance please. Thank you.
