What is Workbook Structure Protection?

Workbook protection locks the structure of your Excel file, preventing you from adding, deleting, hiding, or reordering sheets. You might notice grayed-out options when right-clicking sheet tabs. This is different from sheet protection which locks cell content. Our tool removes both types of protection.
