# Protect notes from unwanted edits UpNote allows you to protect your notes from accidental or unwanted changes by enabling **Edit Protection**. When this feature is turned on, your note becomes read-only until you manually toggle the edit mode in the note editor. This is useful for important references, finished documents or any content you don’t want to alter by mistake. * To enable this mode, go to **Settings** > **Editor** > enable **Protect notes from unwanted edits**. * To toggle edit mode in a note, click or tap the edit button in the upper right corner of your note editor. *** #### 💡 Tips * Edit Protection **does not sync** across devices. You’ll need to enable or disable it separately on each device where you want the note protected. * Edit Protection is different from **locking** a note. Locking hides the content and requires authentication; Edit Protection only prevents accidental editing.
