RE: Password Protection

Hi Susie

Thank you for your question; and apologies for the delay in coming back to you with a response.

You have several options depending on how you want the protection applied. You can either make the file read-only or save your Visio file as a web page if you want to ensure no-one makes changes to your original drawing.

Otherwise if you want to allow others to edit/make changes to certain parts of the document, you can apply protection to some parts of a drawing.

For more information on all these options, I'll refer you to the Microsoft web site:

I hope this helps.
Amanda
