How to lock selected pieces of content from being edited during collaboration?
Writer lets you give editing access to specific users while locking the content for others. This comes in handy when your document contains information that you don't want all your collaborators to edit.
To lock selected contents,
- Select the required text.
- Go to More options
> Tools tab. Under Editing, choose to Lock/Unlock content in collaboration. - Alternatively, you can click the Review button to switch to Review mode and click the Lock document icon under Collaboration.
- A drop-down list will appear. Click Lock Selected Content or Lock Unselected Content, which will lock either the selected text or everything but the selected text.
Note: If you want to allow any specific user to edit the locked content, click Advanced options in the drop-down menu, add the user in the Allow Editing For field and click Lock.
