FAQ

Why can people still view content after I set a Content Protection Zone?

  1. Content Protection Zone limits editing, not viewing.
  2. After the document is opened, collaborators can still read the text inside the protected area.
  3. If you also need to limit access to viewing, manage document sharing permissions together with area protection.

What is the difference between Content Protection Zone and document editing permissions?

  1. Content Protection Zone applies to selected areas inside a document.
  2. Editing permissions usually apply to the whole document or to collaborator roles.
  3. You can use both together by setting collaboration permissions first and then protecting key paragraphs.

Why can’t I see the Remove Protection option?

  1. Make sure you tapped an area that is already protected.
  2. Confirm that your current account has the required editing permission for the document.
  3. If the option still does not appear, select the protected area again and reopen the pop-up menu.
