Making a cell selectable/unselectable for the user

By default, cells are selectable. However, there are several reasons to make cells unselectable for a user:
  • Title cells.
  • Cells that are only used for layout.
  • Cells that can be skipped when scanning for more efficient scanning.

Unselectable cells can be recognized in edit view by the symbol in the bottom-right corner.
