I'm a user with editing rights. How can I view a sheet as a non-editing user would see it?
I'm an editing user.
I can lock rows and columns.
I can unlock rows and columns.
Annoyingly, I can still delete cell contents when the row or column is locked. That's not how I want it to work - I'd prefer to have to unlock those rows or columns and then do it. I have no way of getting a feel for how a non-editing user can use (or abuse) the sheet.
Is there some mode or option I can use to change this please?

Viewer and Commenter permissions cannot edit any data on the sheet (regardless of locked/unlocked rows/columns). Commenters can add/delete their own comments, but they cannot interact with any of the data within the sheet itself.

I want to be able to preview the sheet as an editing user under my own license, and not preview it as an admin - I want to get a feel for how it works with the locked rows.

Hi @CycleBagEd
I hope you're well and safe!
To add to Paul's excellent advice/answer.
You can add yourself with other email addresses for the different levels and see how it looks.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,
