When a project version is in Read Only mode, users with the appropriate permission can view all elements but cannot edit them. They can still select and copy activities and groups on the Canvas and paste them into another project they can edit. See Copying Activities and Groups.
Identifying a Read Only Project
All Projects Page: Project cards in Read Only mode have an eye icon next to the version name.
Inside a Project: A Read Only dropdown appears in the top-right corner of the header, replacing the "Schedule" button.
Versions Canvas: Versions set to Read Only have a tag on top of the card indicating their status.
Enabling/Disabling "Read Only"
From the versions page, open the three-dot menu for the desired version and select Make Read Only.
To Disable: From the versions page, open the three-dot menu for a version set to Make Read Only and select "Make Editable"
Note: Only project owners and organization admins have the permission to enable/disable "Read Only".
Identifying the Project Owner
This can be done in 2 ways:
From All Projects, click the 3 dot menu on the project you want and select Members
From within the project, click on Users
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can make a project version read only?
Only project owners and organization admins can turn Read Only on or off. Open the Versions canvas, click the three-dot menu on a version, and select Make Read Only or Make Editable.
How can I tell if a project is read only?
On the Home page, the project card shows an eye icon next to the version name. Inside the project, a Read Only dropdown replaces the Schedule button in the top-right corner, and on the Versions canvas the version card has a Read Only tag.
Can I copy from a read-only project?
Yes. You can select activities and groups on the Canvas, copy them, and paste them into another project you can edit. Cut and other edits stay blocked, so the read-only version is never changed.
How do I find out who owns a read-only project?
Click the Read Only dropdown in the project header to see the list of project owners, or open Share in the header.
