Make Documents Read-Only

If a document is read-only, then it cannot be checked out or edited. If the Read-Only option is applied to a document, there is no Check Out option available from the Action menu of the document. When a document is marked as read-only, it cannot be undone.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Documents, and perform a search to locate a document.

  2. Click the Actions menu next to the document title.

  3. Click Make Read-Only. A message appears stating:
    Are you sure you want to make this document read-only?

  4. Click OK to apply the read-only setting to the document. The Lock icon () appears next to the document title indicating it is read-only.
