Non-Project Files Protection dialog

Last modified: 31 October 2024

This dialog appears when you try to edit non-project files: SDK sources, external sources and so on. Such files are intentionally protected from modification. For example, it is not recommended that you change Go SDK packages as you are supposed to reuse them as is.

If you want to work with these files, add them to the content root. A content root in GoLand is a folder that contains your source code, build scripts, unit tests, and documentation. In the Project tool window, this folder is marked with the Directory icon.

If you want to edit these files only once without adding them to your project, use one of the options in the dialog.
