To protect a sheet:
- Open the spreadsheet.
- Click the sheet's tab at the bottom of your spreadsheet and select Protect sheet.
- Optionally, enter a description for the protected sheet in the text box.
- Change users’ viewing, commenting, and editing permissions by clickingSet permissions.
- Click Done when finished making changes to permissions.
- Click Done to protect your sheet.
Who can create protected sheets
Any owner or editor of a spreadsheet can set editing permissions for individual sheets, although editors can’t remove editing permission for owners. Others will still be able to view the data on the protected sheet, but depending on the permission you set for each sheet, they won't be able to make any changes or delete a protected sheet.
Edit a copy of the data from a protected sheet
If an editor duplicates the protected sheet, copies the workbook, or uploads a new version, sheet protection will be disabled. Also, if a viewer creates a copy of the spreadsheet, the data on the protected sheet can be edited in the copy.
Protected sheets and ranges can help prevent people from unintentionally modifying content in a spreadsheet, but they should not be used for security purposes because not all actions are blocked (for example, printing, copying and pasting, and importing and exporting). Only share spreadsheets with people you trust.
