'Protect' pages in Doc view

From support ticket: It'd be great to be able to mark a single page as read only so people don't edit it after the fact by accident.

Limiting essential functionality for paid users to try & squeeze more cash out of them is a bad move on ClickUp's part. Feels like its turning into a money grabbing machine instead of a community driven productivity tool.

Hey everybody! With the launch of Docs 3.0, you can now protect a Page or the entire Doc directly from the right sidebar!
Bruce Cannon
Nick Potok: No, we cannot. Not unless we 'upgrade' to the new 'Business Plus' plan, which gets all the features that Business plan users have been asking for for years.
Guy Mannerings
Bruce Cannon Nick Potok I agree with Bruce.
Zeb said Business Plus was for people who wanted some more Enterprise-like features, yet all these newly released or announced features that are locked behind Business Plus are not Enterprise-like features at all.
They should clearly be coming to the Business plan because they are Business (or even lower) features; not Enterprise features.
Locking pages is a basic feature that should be in your lowest plans.
Tagging documents is arguably basic, but Business at the most.
Subtasks into multiple lists is a Business feature.
Controlling permissions fully is basic, but Business at most.
Whiteboard is Business.
Etc etc etc.
Yet all these things are now locked behind Business Plus.
It's incredibly poor form from ClickUp.

Nick Potok: Totally agreeing with other users here. Why is a simple "Protect" document feature locked behind the expensive Business Plus plan. Notion has it for free under personal accounts (and $8/mo for Teams)

This would be awesome! We share docs with external collaborators for view only but people keep editing them accidentally. It is a MUST feature.
Sharad Mittal
Emre [Unknown]: While sharing externally, I think there is an option to share View only. Does that work for you?

Why is ths so far down :( Please! - Confluence, Notion, ... they all have it, in one form or the other. How will you build an internal documentation with a team, if you can't protect it against drive-by accidental changes? Like hitting the wrong key at the wrong moment and not noticing it. The History does not help, if you don't realize you changed something. Seems a no-brainer to me.

I would like to be able to lock/protect pages so they can't be edited (or only edited by me), so that people don't accidentally change things.

Our use case for this (to give some context) is that we have a single doc view on each project called "Status Updates". Each week we add a new page to the doc to add the latest status update. Once it's been communicated it'd be nice to be able to lock down just that page, but still be able to add new pages and edit those, preventing the team from messing with previous status updates.
Mathew Thompson
Kevin Brown: A workaround I'm using for a similar use case is to export the pages to be protected as PDFs, then upload those and attach them to the continuously growing Doc (your Status Updates).
