Hello,  
I’m running  
Nextcloud version 27.1.2  
Operating system and version 22.04 lts  
Nginx version 1.24  
PHP version 8.2.8  
Nextcloud office 8.2.4

The issue I’m facing:  
I am creating a form, in NC office, which want to share as a template.  
If I was doing this in Word (microsoft) I would create the form and protect sections.  
How does NC Office handle this? Is this possible or should I be approaching this differently?

Thank you for any input!

Clearly shagged in the brain . . .  
Any pointers would be a huge help!

I think you better post the question in [Collabora forum](https://forum.collaboraonline.com).
