Spreadsheet

"Last edit was made seconds ago by anonymous"

Why is this range/sheet protected?

Sheets and ranges are protected to prevent accidental changes and to preserve the layout of the template.

Editing protected sheets and ranges can break the spreadsheet's functionality, the add-on may not work properly, and updates to the spreadsheet may fail.

You always can expand or collapse groups of rows and columns, hide or show sheets and rows/columns.
