View a markdown component without locking it

If you don't want to edit the content in a markdown component, you can just view it in Oxygen as Read-Only. This keeps the component unlocked for other users to work in. While you can't edit the content, you can use any of the Oxygen features for displaying content. If you want to make changes, you have options in the toolbar to save a copy for editing.

If you want to make changes, follow the steps in Edit a markdown component.
