read-only
Look but don't touch
Read-only describes data or storage that can be viewed but not modified.
A read-only file can be opened and copied but not edited or deleted without changing its permissions.
Read-only memory (ROM) contains permanent data that persists even when power is off.
The document is read-only, so you'll need to save a copy to make changes.
