You can define what fields are editable on the front end when [using GravityEdit with GravityView](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityedit/enable-inline-edit-for-gravityview/). Disabling field editing is unavailable when using GravityEdit in the Gravity Forms Entries screen.

 By default, editing fields will be enabled when the "Enable Inline Edit" View setting is checked.

## How to disable GravityEdit for a field

 **Click the field settings icon** (a gear cog) next to the field for which you want to disable editing.

In the Advanced section, there is a setting named "Enable Editing This Field With Inline Edit". **Click the "Disabled" option to prevent editing.**![Screenshot of the Enabled/Disabled radio button options for the 'Enable Editing This Field With Inline Edit' setting.](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CleanShot-2022-01-14-at-10.31.08@2x.png) **Close the field settings** by clicking the "Close" button or outside the field settings container. You’ll notice that the pencil icon is no longer next to the field label, showing that GravityEdit is disabled.

 **Save the View!** In the Publish box, click the Update button to save the View.
