Hi - I am creating an excel file as an output to my process from a stored, formatted template excel file. Can I create a final version of my file that is password protected?

Hello,

you will use Excel application scope with password protected and then add write range activity in excel application scope.

Thanks,

I don’t want to put a password on my template file. I would like to add a password to a file output from the process. Can the bot add a password? Otherwise I will just have user do it manually.

Hi Sunil,

Can you elaborate on the suggestion above? Are you suggesting I re-open my output file using Excel Application Scope and then apply a password through the properties? This does not work, it seems like the password properties are only for files with existing password. I would like for my automation to add the password for me, is it possible?
