Google Docs how to make a Google Doc view only
Prevent unwanted changes to your document by people you’re sharing with.
- Avoid unintended edits and mistakes in your Google Docs by using the view-only mode, which makes the document unchangeable and condenses the menu.
- Click the drop-down menu next to a person’s name in the Share menu to set whether they have editor, commentor, or viewer permissions.
- To change the permissions of someone with a link, click the “Share” button, then change the permission in the “General Access” section accordingly.
Whether you’re sharing your document or working on it alone, unintentional edits can happen. Luckily, Google Docs gives you a simple way to avoid mistaken keystrokes, accidental deletions, and other unintended edits with a view-only mode.

[mai mult...]How to find your MAC Address on Windows 10 or 11
Here’s a basic refresher: A network adapter is a device in your PC that connects to a network—either through Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or another method. In some PCs, a network adapter is a separate card installed in a machine, and in others, it’s built into the hardware. Even so, Windows still considers each adapter as a separate device.
Before locating your MAC address, it’s important to know that different network adapters have their own unique MAC addresses. So if your PC has both an Ethernet port (handled by an Ethernet adapter) and a Wi-Fi connection (handled by a Wi-Fi adapter), each one of those connection methods will have its own MAC address.
