Secure Your Google Docs Learn How to Lock and Protect Your Files

 

Have you ever created a Google Doc and:

• shared with others but wanted the editors to only edit if it needs to be edited
• made multiple copies of a doc but you weren't sure which one was :the good one"?

Well a nice feature in Google Docs is the ability to Lock a document. To do this, simply right click on the doc in drive and select File information and then Lock.

When you open the doc that is locked (you as well as the others editors) will see the image you see below. If you click the blue Unlock to edit you will be able to edit

Hope this helps.

Take care,

Brad
