"protect shared workbook"

[lezawang]

Hi
I am learning how to share a workbook and track changes. Under Review there is a option called: "Protect Shared Workbook". I did not find that option is needed in anything. I can track changes without clicking on that option! not sure why is there.

Thank you.

I use this feature in the work books I share when I want to ensure that certain cells/formulas/formatting does not get changed.

here is a link to a youtube video describing how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl6m9wgP-fE

Thanks for your reply. But I have under Review an option called "Protect Sheet". Is not that the same? Why I have a new one called "Protect Shared Workbook"?
If I clicked on "Protect Sheet" then "Share Workbook", would that be enough? then no need to that new command "Protect Shared Workbook".

Thank you.
