Turn on Track Changes in Word
Draft. Not published yet.
Track Changes marks insertions, deletions, and some formatting so you can review a document without guessing what changed.
- Open the document in Word.
- Go to the Review tab.
- In the Tracking group, select Track Changes. You can choose For Everyone or Just Mine if those options appear.
- You can also press Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows to toggle Track Changes on or off.
Edits you make after that are marked. Use Next and Previous on the Review tab to move through them, then Accept or Reject. To hide the marks while you read, change the display menu (often All Markup, Simple Markup, or No Markup) without turning tracking off.
Turn Track Changes off the same way you turned it on when you’re done editing. Turning it off doesn’t remove marks that are already in the file; you still need to accept or reject those.
If several people will edit the file, keep it in OneDrive or SharePoint so everyone is working in the same copy.
