Locking Markdown cells

[Tony Hirst]

Is there an easy way of locking a markdown cell so that a user can't edit it, eg for the sharing of teaching materials?

From notebook 5.0 (coming soon) you can set 'editable: false' in cell metadata - I think this should work for markdown cells as well as code cells.

This is only intended to protect against users accidentally editing something: someone determined to change it can simply remove that metadata and then do as they like.

Ah - ok - good to know; thanks.

That would b fine for my use case... it's casual changes I want to defend against as much as anything.

thanks
