The latter, but for an old (existing) document.
It works with existing documents. LyX will treat any LyX doc as a
template, so you just browse to your doc. The only thing I'm not sure
about (not having tried) is whether it works with older formats (meaning
whether it runs lyx2lyx on the original doc).
The issue of making read-only more accessible apparently was discussed a
few years back. I found this bugzilla entry:

Looks like it got the cold shoulder.
