1 What is Track Changes?

Track Changes is a feature in Word that lets you mark up a document with any changes that you or others make, such as adding, deleting, or moving text, formatting, comments, or annotations. You can turn on Track Changes by clicking on the Review tab and then on the Track Changes button. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E. When Track Changes is on, you will see a vertical line in the left margin of the document, indicating that there are changes in that line. You will also see different colors and markings for different types of changes, such as red for deletions, blue for insertions, and green for comments.

Effectively using Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature involves enabling it in the "Review" tab, allowing collaborative editing. Changes like inserted text (underlined) or deleted text (strikethrough) are visible. Comments can be added and replies viewed. Accepting or rejecting changes is easy, and customization options include color coding and locking tracking. Advanced features like combining changes and document comparison enhance collaboration. Finalizing involves accepting/rejecting all changes, comparing documents, removing markup, saving a clean copy, and adjusting print settings. Mastering these ensures efficient revision management and transparent editing.

In addition to authoring options, you can use the Track Changes feature to track changes made by other authors in Word.
