Changing an object from read-write to read-only

This task explains how to toggle an object to a read-only state.

About this task

Use the ReadOnly tool to change the state of a read-write object to read-only.

To change the read-write state of multiple objects, you can select a range (Shift+click), or individual objects (Control+click); you can also combine these selection methods to add to, or subtract from, a range of selected objects. Multi-select works only in the list view.

Procedure

In either tree or list view, right-click on an object, click more, and then click ReadOnly.
In the list view, the Status column changes from read-write to read-only.
