In addition to more granular/advanced controls on access and permission with docs, we would appreciate the ability to grant access to a doc while keeping doc history and comments from being visible.
We'd also like to keep a document from being able to be duplicated by a view only user. We are using docs for resource documentation and SOP within our workspace, and locking these docs in such a way that they cannot be duplicated by a viewer would be helpful.

This would be very useful! We have moved our entire company's SOPs into a single doc, organizing everything by pages and subpages. It allows us to share this doc with a single link with users or guests and the visual organization of subpages looks great. Everything works for us, however, if a user is able to edit the doc, they can also delete it, but they can not restore it since they aren't admins. What makes things slightly confusing is that before this we used Confluence and each SOP in that software lived in its own "Doc", so when someone would click on the edit functions to delete the SOP they would only delete that specific SOP, however, in ClickUp since this is one doc with many pages, some users are intuitively clicking on the three dots in the top right corner while on a page inside the doc, thinking that they are about to delete the page when in fact they are accessing the edit functions for the entire doc. To delete a page they would have to click on the three dots near the page in the sidebar. I'm sure over time everyone will learn, and as an admin I can always restore the doc, but I really wish I could just lock the doc from being deleted by anyone. Only the creator and admins should be able to delete it.

Another problem is more secure document sharing via public links. When there is sensitive info in the doc, but you still need to share it (especially when someone you share it with will not create an account just to see the doc), it's good to 1 - add a password for the link, so you need a link and a password to access the doc, and 2 - prevent those accessing the doc from downloading any documents or viewing any changes in the doc.

Adding the need to be able to add different permissions to subpages. We're planing to host our company wiki in CU but need to have the ability to have different permission for subpages. IE - OPS main pages houses many pages that need to be accessible to the entire team but also some pages such as banking and other info that should only be accessible to a select group of users.

Lock/Unlock function in Docs
Juan Cardenas
[From support ticket]
For a living doc (like our company wiki), we want to let everyone edit it.
But to prevent accidental edits, it'd be great to have a "lock" function. So if people do want to edit anything, they would have to unlock it.

User roles on docs

Assign users to different roles on docs such as owner (can approve changes), editor (can make or suggest changes), viewer (can see the doc), watcher (notified of changes).

You can currently customize permissions for members and guests on a Doc, both who has access and who can edit or comment! We'll be releasing locking functionality to our Docs soon, so I'll merge your post with that one! Josh Sommer

Brendan W: Thanks. Will there be the ability to add watchers/followers to docs?

Today one employee by mistake made private a training document for the whole company. There's no way to prevent this currently, so there's no way we're migrating to using ClickUp as our de facto docs manager. Please work on this feature to make docs more solid.

Deleting restrictions are also needed so that potentially only to a single admin account has deleting rights which would help avoid accidental deletion, especially when a Doc is attached to a list, folder, or Space because then the Doc won't even show up in the admin panels trash (which is also something that needs to be changed).
