Mark Workbook as Final

Excel offers options to mark Workbook as final. Marking a workbook as final discourages other users to edit it. Note that, users can edit the final version since it is not protected. Let’s follow the steps below:

1. Open a workbook (for example, Book1).

2. Click File and click Info.

3. Select Protect workbook and click on Mark as Final.
