Applying protection to snapshot copies

You can specify whether workbook and worksheet protection are applied when a user takes a snapshot copy of a file. This protection is configured independently from the protection settings that apply when the "live" file itself is opened. You can choose to protect the live file but not the snapshot, or vice versa, or you can apply the same settings to both the live file and the snapshot.

The following settings control protection for snapshot copies:

Workbook Protection On/Off during snapshot: This setting is located in the Workbook Options section of the Control Sheet. By default it is set to Off, which means snapshot copies will not have workbook protection applied.
Worksheet Protection On/Off during snapshot: This setting is located in the Sheet Options section of the Control Sheet. By default it is set to Off, which means snapshot copies will not have worksheet protection applied. This setting must be defined per sheet.

NOTE: By default, these settings use a formula so that they will automatically inherit whatever is set for the "live file" setting directly above. You can override this formula if desired and choose a different protection setting for snapshot copies.

These snapshot protection settings apply to any process that creates a snapshot copy, including:

Snapshot File
E-mail Workbook
File Processing (Save snapshot)
