Your workspace templates are the masters — here's how to make sure embed users can't change them.

## Turn on override protection

In **Orshot Embed** settings, expand **Templates** and enable **Prevent Workspace Template Overriding** — it requires [Per-User Data](https://orshot.com/help/embed-multi-tenancy) to be on first (user edits need somewhere of their own to go):

With both on, users who edit a workspace template save into **their own** library — your original never changes.

## The other template permissions

The rest of the **Templates** section controls what users can do day to day:

| Switch | What it controls |
| --- | --- |
| **Show All Workspace Templates** | Whether users see your shared templates at all — off means they start from scratch |
| **Show Templates Sidebar** | The left panel for browsing and creating templates |
| **Allow Template Delete** | Users can delete *their own* templates |
| **Allow Template Rename** | Users can rename their templates |
| **Allow Multipage Templates** | Carousel/multi-page creation |
| **Allow Import Template via JSON** | Importing template JSON (off by default) |
