Unprotect sheet/workbook
I protected the worksheets and the workbook. Now I need to unprotect them for
some changes, but on the review tab, unprotect sheet and unprotect workbook is grayed out. I did not use any password. How can I unprotect this workbook/worksheets. Thanks, Steve |

Unprotect sheet/workbook
Hi,
Maybe it's a shared workbook and if it is? Unshare the workbook, unprotect, make your changes, protect and the re-share. Mike "Steve" wrote: I protected the worksheets and the workbook.

Unprotect sheet/workbook
I can unprotect the shared workbook, but that doesn't enable the unprotect
sheet command ( it's still grayed out). "Mike H" wrote: Hi, Maybe it's a shared workbook and if it is? Unshare the workbook, unprotect, make your changes, protect and the re-share.

Unprotect sheet/workbook
Do you have more than one sheet selected?
Do you see [Group] in the title bar? This would gray out the unprotect sheet command. Ungroup if that's the case.

Unprotect sheet/workbook
Ooops!
Misread the preceding reply about unprotecting the shared workbook. As long as the workbook is shared, the unprotect sheet will remain grayed out. You must unshare the workbook to unprotect sheets.

You most likely also shared the workbook under ToolsShare Workbook.
