You can protect content from being modified, deleted or viewed.
You can protect sheets and the document as a whole. You can choose whether the cells are protected against accidental changes, whether the formulas can be viewed, whether the cells are visible or whether the cells can be printed.
Protection can be provided by means of a password, but it does not have to be. If you have assigned a password, protection can only be removed once the correct password has been entered.
Note that the cell protection for cells with the Protected attribute is only effective when you protect the whole table. In the default condition, every cell has the Protected attribute. Therefore you must remove the attribute selectively for those cells where the user may make changes. You then protect the whole table and save the document.
