Protection of formulas on numbers

Good morning everyone.


I would like to know if there is a way to protect the formula inside a cell, to prevent it from being accidentally changed or deleted.


Thank you

If you can have most of your formulas in a particular table then you can lock that table.


But you can only lock a the table level. You cannot lock individual cells. And unlocking a table is easy, maybe not what you want.


Keep in mind that if you change a formula by mistake you can go back to the previous version via File > Revert to > Browse All Versions ... in the menu.
