Google Protect Worksheet And Range in Google Sheets

Protecting a worksheet or a range in Google Sheets allows you to prevent accidental changes to specific cells or the entire worksheet. You can protect cells from being edited, deleted, or formatted, and you can also specify which users are allowed to edit the protected cells.

Here's how to protect a worksheet or range in Google Sheets:

1. Select the cells that you want to protect. If you want to protect the entire worksheet, simply select all the cells.
2. Go to "File" > "Protect sheet".
3. In the "Protect sheet" dialog box, you can specify which actions you want to allow or prevent for the selected cells, such as editing, deleting, or formatting.
4. You can also add users who are allowed to edit the protected cells by entering their email addresses in the "Users with edit access" section.
5. Click "Protect" to apply the protection to the selected cells or worksheet.

Note that only users with edit access to the worksheet will be able to make changes to the protected cells. If you need to make changes to the protected cells, you can temporarily unprotect the cells by clicking "Unprotect sheet" in the "Protect sheet" dialog box.

By protecting a worksheet or range in Google Sheets, you can ensure that important data remains intact, and prevent accidental changes to cells that you don't want to modify. This can help you to maintain the integrity of your data, and ensure that your spreadsheets are always up-to-date and accurate.
