You can add a password, more accurately described as protection, to specific sheets or ranges within a Google Sheet. This prevents unauthorized users from editing the protected areas.
Here's how to do it:
-
Select the data you want to protect. This could be a specific range of cells or an entire sheet.
-
Click on Data > Protect sheets and ranges. This will open the "Protected sheets and ranges" menu on the right side of your screen.
-
Click "+ Add a sheet or range."
-
Choose what to protect:
- To protect a range: Click "Range" and verify that the selected cells are correct. Adjust the range if needed.
- To protect an entire sheet: Click "Sheet."
