It is particularly useful when you are sharing documents with other colleagues, because it allows you to see exactly what changes were made, and by whom. In this post, I’ll teach you how to use Track Changes to edit Word documents, and how to accept or reject those changes as a reviewer. Learn what other information you should include in your feedback to ensure it is actionable and reaches the right people.Track Changes is a tool in Microsoft Word which allows you to show any markups, changes or comments made to a document. Please select Help > Feedback to tell us what you think. We are actively working on this feature, and your feedback is key to guiding future improvements. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as an Insider, have had the opportunity to try it. Sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders.

Don’t have it yet? It’s probably us, not you.įeatures are released over some time to ensure things are working smoothly. The feature is available to all users in Word for the web, and is rolling out to Beta Channel users running Version 2206 (Build 15314.10000) or later. Any changes to the document will be blocked while you are reading the document in Viewing mode. If you open a document that you don’t have edit or review permissions for, you can still access the document but you won’t be able to switch to either Editing or Reviewing mode.Turning on Track Changes automatically sets the document to Reviewing mode.To switch back to editing the document, select the button again and click Editing. ( NOTE: The button name will change based on the selected mode. Click the Editing button in the ribbon (in the top-right corner, next to the Share button), and then click Reviewing or Viewing to switch to a different way of working with your document.
