How to lock specific sections of a Writer document for protected collaboration

Overview

Zoho Writer allows you to lock specific sections of a document so collaborators can only edit the areas you permit. This helps protect important content while still enabling teamwork on other parts of the document. Owners can unlock sections at any time to allow further edits, ensuring both security and flexibility during collaboration.

Steps

  1. Select the required text in your document.
  2. Click Review > Lock/Unlock Content > Lock Selected Content.

  3. If you wish to allow any specific user to edit the locked content, click Advanced options and add the user in the Allow editing for field.
