You can protect portions of your work from being changed by other users. With Author Control enabled, you place a restricted lock on one or more items within a title (and by inheritance, any children items that are related to the item on which the restriction is placed). When you enable Author Control, an item or its children cannot be modified in any way within the title unless the Author Control restriction is lifted using the master Author Control password.
To enable author control:
From the File ribbon, select Title Information if it is not already selected.
Enable the Enable Author Control check box to enable the feature. The Set Author Control Password window opens.
Type the same password in both fields and click OK. The password for the title is set.
Once enabled, any item in the title can be placed under author control by clicking the 
Author Control graphic in the first group on the Properties ribbon for an individual item. During a single editing session, an author will only be prompted to enter the Author Control password once. After the correct password has been given, the author will have full editing capabilities within the title. If the Author Control password is forgotten, the author must import the contents of the title into a new title to make any changes to the protected items.
Click the Change Password button to change the author control password.
