Remove Excel workbook structure protection

By Jetformat

This removes workbook protection. It is not a password recovery workflow and is distinct from removing worksheet-level restrictions.

Steps

Start with a local XLSX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
Check the result as described below before using it in another job.

jetformat excel unprotect finance.xlsx -o finance-updated.xlsx

Options for this task

Option	Meaning
`--output`	Output XLSX path (required)

Check the result

Open the output and confirm that workbook structural actions behave as intended.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat excel unprotect --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the excel command reference for the surrounding workflow.
