I saved a document with a password months ago, and now I want an unlocked copy for easier daily access.

This feature helps you create an unlocked copy of a document that was previously saved with a password, so you can open it quickly during day-to-day work. It reduces repetitive password entry while preserving the original protected version if you still need it.

This feature is designed for situations where a document was password-protected in the past, but you now need a convenient unlocked version for frequent access. After you successfully open the password-protected document using the correct password, you can save a new copy that is not protected. The original file remains unchanged so you can keep a secured version for archival or compliance needs. The unlocked copy can be stored in a location that fits your daily workflow, such as a work folder or a synced drive. This approach is useful for users who open the same file repeatedly and want to avoid entering a password each time. It also supports scenarios where a document has transitioned from sensitive to routine, such as internal drafts that are no longer confidential. The feature helps prevent workflow interruptions, especially when passwords are long or stored in a manager. It can be used to simplify access on devices where typing a password is inconvenient, such as mobile or shared workstations with appropriate permissions. The result is a faster, smoother daily experience while still allowing you to retain a protected version when needed.
