Temporarily disable all input cells in a laptop section

Question

Is there a way to disable all input cells in a group of cells / sections so that they can be easily undone later?

My goal is to keep the laptop block intact, but don't let it be judged when the “Evaluation Notebook” is selected in the front panel.

There Cell -> Cell Properties -> Evaluatable, but with this I will need to select each input cell manually and change / restore this property. This is too much work. I have interlaced text / subgrid / output cells.

Is there a better way to use the user interface? If not, is there a simple software way?

EDIT: I found an Alt-click that selects all input cells in a laptop. Could this be limited to just a section / cell?

Answer 1

• Optionally select all input cells.
• Double-click the key combination (once to select once to deselect) of each group of cells that you do not want to include.

Alternatively, you can simply set Evaluatable-> False for the entire group of cells that you want to disable. The Text, Subsection, and Output cells in this group will not cause any problems.
