Document.protect does not work in google docs

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

We are trying to protect document with various access levels. For example,
document.protect(ProtectionType.ALLOW_ONLY_REVISIONS).

This works as expected when opening the document in Microsoft Word and the User is able to only redline and unable to edit the document.

Opening the same document in google docs however does not seem to honor the write restrictions. I was wondering if there is any solution or a different access restriction to be followed if User can either use MS Word or Google Docs ?

Thank you!

@kml2020 Protection level is stored in the document itself, how it is interpreted by the consumer application is out of Aspose.Words scope. I am afraid there is no special option to protect documents for Google Docs.

Hi @alexey.noskov, we were suspecting as such. Thank you for your quick response & confirmation!
