I have done integration with Collabora Online cloud to Appian BPM to open Word Document and edit the document.
Can we have entire word document read only? if yes, Please provide any references or links regarding the topic

Hey @npkr.hdp ,
Welcome to the forum + thanks for the question. 🙂

If you want all documents of a certain type be `read-only`, then you can set this in the `discovery.xml` file. See:
- [sdk.collabora.com: “Advanced integration”](https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/advanced_integration.html?highlight=read%20only#modifying-discovery-xml)
So you could, for example, set DOCX with READ but no edit permissions.
If you wanted it to be user-togglable per file, that’s a little trickier… I know that Nextcloud Office implemented it on top of Collabora. You might be able to find more exact info/code by searching `read only` in:
- [Nextcloud’s `richdocuments` Github](https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments).

PS. What is Appian BPM? And how/why are you getting Word documents in there? I’ve never even heard of it before. 🙂
