Editable

Editable
is an option for displayed objects, cells and notebooks which specifies whether their contents can be edited interactively using the front end.

MORE INFORMATION

Even with the setting Editable->False, the contents of an object can still be copied as a whole.

Editable is an option for InterpretationBox and TagBox, as well as for StyleBox.

Setting Editable->False effectively allows you to "write protect" elements of notebooks.
