Default prohibit saving excel file

Yes.

Under Save-As, go to Tools-General Options. Use a password to open, with
read-only recommended activated. That would force everyone except the
editor(person with password) to open the file in read-only mode.

We have a master excel file that I do not want overwritten. I always want it
saved under a different name. How do I do this? Would I make it "read
only"? Thanks.
