Changing a read-only file
Setting a file to read-only protects it from changes to its content or accidental deletion. If a file is read-only, you cannot save changes to it until you turn off the read-only status.
Turn off read-only status
- Find the file you want to edit.
- Right-click the file (PC) or Control-click it (Mac), then click Properties.
- Click the General tab, clear the Read-only check box, then click OK.
- Edit and save your file as needed.
Note: If you do not want to change the read-only status, you can still make changes by saving a copy of the file with a different name, then editing the copy.
