So I have shared a Google Sheets document with some colleagues and want them to be able to edit it, cool, easy enough. Just share with them and give them 'editing' rights. Then I find that one of the users has edited something they shouldn't have, by mistake (the Sheet had shared login and passwords on it). Luckily I had the password written in another place, but I thought, 'how do I stop this from happening again without taking away the right to edit?'.
AH HA! Google has thought of this as well! Protect a Range or Sheet

Using the protect a range function I highlighted the 8 cells that I didn't want anyone to edit and set the rights for those specific cells. The teachers can still edit all of the other information on that page, but not the usernames and passwords.
