    Decide how much editing a protected document permits by setting ProtectionType on WordDocumentProtectionSettings.Type. None leaves the document fully editable, ReadOnly blocks all changes, FormFilling allows entries in form fields while locking the rest of the content, CommentsOnly permits comments but no edits, and TrackChanges forces every edit to be recorded as a tracked revision.

    var settings = new WordDocumentProtectionSettings { Type = ProtectionType.ReadOnly };
