What I actually see in the menu ribbon at the top of Studio 2014 (in "Advanced") is an item marked "Protect Tags" but which I cannot unselect.
Can somebody tell me where the actual option is/what I'm doing wrong before I go and insert a large garden gnome into somebody. Many thanks! ▲ Collapse

This setting is OFF by default

I wonder how you managed to have this setting ON. Did you click on it inadvertently? In that case, you should be able to revert this.
What happens when you close the document and open it again? Or better, open the source file for translation again (creating a new project, not using the existing one).

What is the file format of the document you have this problem with?
Solution: temporarily adding a shortcut for "Protect Tags"
Aug 24, 2015
I did not seem to have a shortcut for tag protection, so I don't know how this could be checked. However manually adding a shortcut for "Protect Tags" in the Editor options creates a toggling command, which can be used to lift the protection.

Why don't you create one?
Aug 24, 2015
If you go to the list of Keyboard Shortcuts (always worth spending five mins just to see what's in there) you'll find that command is there but with no default shortcut assigned. Add one and then you can toggle it on and off at will.

Same here
Jul 24, 2016
I have exactly the same problem, i.e. this supposed toggle switch for "Protect Tags" doesn't work. Is there any other way to remove a protected tag in the source segment?

Tag protection is permanently on and I cannot see anything to turn it off. I have tried looking at the list of short cuts, but none appears to deal with toggling tag protection.

Keyboard shortcut worked
Jan 3, 2018
I've just had this same problem in a memoQ xliff file I'd imported, which I was editing in Review mode. Two segments stubbornly refused to let me accept the changes at the end, giving me the "Cannot edit protected tags" message. However, I'm pleased to say that creating a new Keyboard shortcut for Protect Tags, as suggested by Paul, and toggling it off worked. Phew - thank goodness!
