<h1>Allow edit ranges</h1>
<p>The <b>Allow Edit Ranges</b> option allows you to specify cell ranges a user can work with in a protected sheet. You can allow users to edit specific ranges of locked cells with or without a password. If you don’t use a password, the cell range can be edited.</p>
<p>To select a range of locked cells a user will be allowed to change:</p>
<ol>
<li>
Click the <b>Allow Edit Ranges</b> button on the top toolbar. The <b>Allow Users to Edit Ranges</b> window will open.
<p><img alt="Edit Ranges" src="../images/editranges.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>
Click the <b>New</b> button in the <b>Allow Users to Edit Ranges</b> window to select and to add a range of cells a user will be allowed to edit.
<p><img alt="New Range" src="../images/allowedit_newrange.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>
In the <b>New Range</b> window, type the range <b>Title</b>, and select the range of cells by clicking the <b>Select Range</b> button. <b>Password</b> is optional, so enter and confirm it if you want users to access the editable cell ranges with a password. Click <b>OK</b> to confirm.
<p class="note">The password cannot be restored if you lose or forget it. Please keep it in a safe place.</p>
</li>
<li>Click the <b>Protect Sheet</b> button if you are finished, or click <b>OK</b> to save changes and to continue working in the unprotected sheet.</li>
<li>
If you click the <b>Protect Sheet</b> button, the <b>Protect Sheet</b> window appears for you to select the operations a user will be allowed to perform in order to prevent any unwanted changes. Enter and confirm the password, if you want to set a password to unprotect this sheet.

</li>
<li>
When a sheet is not protected, you can still make changes to the allowed ranges. Click the <b>Allow Edit Ranges</b> button to open the <b>Allow Users to Edit Ranges</b> window. Use <b>Edit</b> and <b>Delete</b> buttons to manage the selected ranges of cells. Then click the <b>Protect Sheet button</b> to enable the sheet protection, or click <b>OK</b> to save changes and to continue working in the unprotected sheet.

</li>
<li>
For ranges protected with a password, when someone is trying to edit the selected range of cells, the <b>Unlock Range</b> window appears, where the user is prompted to enter the password.
