The simple explanation to how to lock cells in google sheet would be: To lock cells on Google Sheets, first, select the cells that you want to lock. Next, right-click on the selected cells and select "Protect range" from the drop-down menu. In the protection panel that appears, you can then assign a password to the locked cells and set other options, such as allowing certain users to edit the locked cells or allowing users to sort and filter the data in the locked cells.
