Is there a way to set a substance designer package or graph to read-only?

Question

I’d like to set up a substance designer file as a template so that it can be viewed but not changed. Is there a way to set it as read-only? The default graphs are read-only, so I figure there’s a way it can be done.

To save an sbs as a template that will appear in the Substance graph templates list, which appears when you select New >Substance Graph, use Save As and save it to the templates folder you have set in Preferences > Projects > Project > General.

You can then set it’s attributes to Read Only in Windows Explorer which will prevent it being saved over. Any changes will then have to saved using Save As and a new package name.
