How can we help you?

If the Read-only property is set for a file by the OS tools, then:

This file is opened in the view mode.

A notification “The file is view-only” is displayed on the Toolbar.

The exception are files in .ppt and .pptm formats and files handled via WebDAV protocol.

In the view mode, you cannot make changes to the document or change its formatting. If necessary, you can create a copy of this document that can be edited. To do this, on the Toolbar, click Edit a copy.

A copy of the document will open in a new application window. To save the file copy, follow the steps described in the Save a file section.
