Manually Enabling or Disabling Directory Protection

Scenarios

Once a directory is protected, all the files and folders in the directory will be set to read-only and cannot be modified. If anyone attempts to modify a file or website, the system will automatically restore it to the status before the modification.

If you need to update a web page immediately, and the scheduled protection and privileged processes cannot help, you can manually disable protection on the directory, update the web page, and enable protection again. For details about scheduled protection and privileged processes, see Enabling Web Tamper Protection.
