Default Can you lock the column width?

Has something changed here in the UI? When I follow your path, I don't see an option to selectively choose what can or cannot be edited by other users...

What I mean: In Menu Tools Protect Sheet I get to an interface entitled "Protected Sheets and ranges", and if I click on "Set Permissions" I only see/am able to add/delete people, but I cannot finetune WHAT these people are allowed to edit or not....

any help would be much appreciated. I want to lock the column widths in my sheet, but nothing else (i.e. collaborators should be able to insert data into cells, but not change column widths)

These options are not where you're looking, which is in *user
permissions*! You need to configure the options in the 'Protect Sheet'
dialog.
