🔒 Permissions
Any contributor can protect an Article.
When an Article is put in protected mode, some restrictions apply to readers only. The purpose of this feature is to minimize the risk of data leaks as much as possible.
🚨 Warning
It is impossible to guarantee that no data leakage will ever occur, even when the protected mode is activated. This serves as a preliminary barrier. A malicious individual who is truly motivated will find a way around it.
To activate the protected mode, go to the general Article settings in the editor.
When an Article is protected, a dedicated badge is displayed right under the Article title to signify that the Article should not be shared.
In protected mode, the download buttons for files and images are no longer available for readers. It is also no longer possible to set the Article to public mode.
In protected mode, the files no longer have a download button.
Printing, duplicating, and version history features are no longer available for readers either.
Finally, it is no longer possible to select text to copy and paste.
