Read-only document protection in React DOCX Editor

Enable read-only protection

Read-only protection restricts editing of document content, formatting, and layout. Read-only access is suitable for documents that need to remain unchanged while still being available for viewing.

Form-filling protection in React DOCX Editor

Use form-filling protection

Form-filling protection allows editing only within designated form fields. Form-restricted editing is suitable for documents that require data entry while keeping the remaining content unchanged.

Comments-only protection in React DOCX Editor

Review with comments-only mode

Comments-only protection enables review discussions while preserving document content and formatting. Comment-based review is suitable for collecting feedback while keeping the original document unchanged.

Tracked changes protection in React DOCX Editor

Apply track changes protection

Track changes protection records document changes and maintains a visible revision history. Revision-controlled editing is suitable for documents that require changes to be reviewed before finalization.

Syncfusion Essential Studio® provides ready-to-use, customizable UI components that speed up frontend development. In our case, the document editor enables users to work with rich-text content directly in the browser, and the SFDT format allows us to implement advanced document workflows. This saves us development time on the frontend and helps maintain a consistent UX without building such tools from scratch.

Walter C

CTO

If you need to do it in your UI, there’s likely a component that does it. They’re powerful, easy to install and easy to configure. Their support behind their product continually exceeds my expectations, well beyond anything else I see anywhere else. Tremendous bang for the buck. I’ve got probably a dozen different components deployed, so you name it. The Document Editor is a particularly powerful tool and a real differentiator.
