The Web API hosted link https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/ utilized in the DOCX Editor’s serviceUrl property is intended solely for demonstration and evaluation purposes. For production deployment, please host your own web service with your required server configurations. You can refer and reuse the GitHub Web Service example or Docker image for hosting your own web service and use for the serviceUrl property.

The Web API hosted link https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/ utilized in the DOCX Editor’s serviceUrl property is intended solely for demonstration and evaluation purposes. For production deployment, please host your own web service with your required server configurations. You can refer and reuse the GitHub Web Service example or Docker image for hosting your own web service and use for the serviceUrl property.

You can use the restrictEditing in DocumentEditorContainerComponent and isReadOnly in DocumentEditorComponent based on your requirement to change the component to read-only mode.
