How do you protect a worksheet from editing?

To protect a worksheet from editing, the proper method is to navigate to the Review tab and select "Protect Sheet." This option allows a user to set restrictions on what can be done within that specific worksheet, such as preventing changes to cells, formatting, or deleting rows and columns, thus ensuring that the integrity of the data is maintained and only authorized actions are permitted.

Utilizing the "Protect Sheet" feature is a straightforward process. Once activated, you can generally set a password to further secure the sheet. This ensures that only those who know the password can make changes. The ability to customize what aspects of the worksheet are protected is a significant advantage as it provides flexibility based on user needs.

The other provided choices do not effectively accomplish the task of protecting a worksheet. While protecting a workbook is a useful feature, it applies to the entire workbook rather than a single worksheet. Selecting to hide a sheet simply makes it invisible without adding any security against editing, allowing knowledgeable users to unhide and alter it as needed. Finally, the Home tab does not house the necessary protection features, which further confirms why the correct choice is found within the Review tab.
