Updated on 6 October 2026
When an article is protected, some restrictions apply to readers only. The goal is to limit the risk of data leaks.
To protect an article:
-
Edit the article.
-
Open the content settings with the "Settings" icon above the side panel.
-
Activate "Protected article".
-
Save the article.
A protected article shows a "Protected article" banner at the top of the page.
In a protected article, readers:
-
cannot download files and images
-
cannot print or duplicate the article, or see its versions
-
cannot select text to copy and paste it
It is also no longer possible to make the article public.
