avoid the shared person delete my row

hi, i see some potential of lose of my data if shared to others.
for example, my project schedule shared to partnes and they have to update the status, since they are editor and they can delete my row accidently, how could i avoid from this issue to be repeated?

One of the biggest benefits of Smartsheet if that you can collaborate with other users. There is always the risk that a user could delete data accidentally, which is why we recommend backing up your data. Basic and Advanced users can manually request backups and Team and Enterprise users can schedule weekly recurring backups.
Here's information on backing up your data:http://help.smartsheet.com/customer/portal/articles/506499-backing-up-your-data

Still waiting for a solution to this problem. This can be solved in so many ways, but still the problem persists. Please fix this Smartsheet.

I think this should work:<\/p>
