Default Conditional Formatting Tab Locked

Hi All

I have formatted a spreadsheet I use daily using the conditional formatting
options and for some reason the tab is now greyed out so I can't get back to
the format options I have selected for the spreadsheet. I need to change some
of the things I had originally setup. Does anyone know why the tab would be
locked out or how I could get it unblocked?

Thanks

Either the worksheet is protected or the workbook is shared. Both of those
lock out CF.

Do you have more than one sheet selected?

Is the sheet protected?

Is the workbook shared?
