How can you prevent users from changing worksheet names in a workbook?

Using the Protect Workbook feature is an effective way to prevent users from changing worksheet names in a workbook. When you protect the workbook, you can restrict certain actions that users can take, including renaming the sheets. This feature not only secures the structure of the workbook by preventing users from adding, deleting, or moving worksheets, but it also ensures that the naming convention remains consistent, which is important for maintaining organized and easily understandable data.

While hiding worksheet tabs might make the names less visible, it doesn't prevent users from changing them if they have adequate permissions. Locking worksheet cells primarily focuses on safeguarding cell content, which does not extend to preventing changes to worksheet names. Disabling the worksheet entirely would restrict access altogether, rather than controlling specific actions like renaming. Therefore, protecting the workbook is the most suitable option for this scenario, as it specifically addresses the need to limit changes to the structure and names of worksheets.
