Track Changes is a feature built into Microsoft Word (for PC or MAC) that keeps track of all the edits made to your document and lets you make comments. When Track Changes is turned on, the edit you make to the document is highlighted, appearing in assorted colors or styles to separate them from the original text. This tool is particularly useful for documents with multiple editors, who can review and approve (or reject) each other’s edits.

Today, I will walk you through the features of Track Changes, how to use it, and show you Microsoft’s new feature in Word where you can see your individual changes made to a document. I do not know what year Microsoft introduced Track Changes to documents in Word, but I can tell you it has been a blessing to those who must proofread all day. It was time consuming reading word for word in each document trying to spot the difference s and not knowing if what was edited made sense. Years ago, we found ourselves comparing documents next to each other to see what changes were made, and whether to accept those changes. someone, and then select the Assign to checkbox to assign the comment as a task.The critical part of producing great content requires getting feedback from your colleagues. If you're working in Word for the web, you can also use comments and to assign a task. If you're an enterprise user working in a document saved to the cloud, you can use to address a specific person in a comment or reply.įor more information about using see the article Use in comments to tag someone for feedback. Modern comments continue to work like comments did before. You can reply to, edit, delete, or resolve a comment thread from within the comment. Select the Post comment button or press Ctrl + Enter. Right-click any text and select New comment in the context menu. Select the text you want to comment on, or click an insertion point in the text, and then do one of the following to make a new comment appear in the right margin: With modern comments, you can review and edit your comments before committing them. This meant that any collaborators on a shared document could see your comment before it was complete. In the previous behavior, comments were committed as you typed. While it may take getting used to, this feature gives you better control of what you post. You can also press Ctrl + Enter (or Cmd + Enter in MacOS) to post the comment. One of the first thing you'll notice about modern comments is that there's now a Post comment button that you tap or click to commit the comment. You can switch between the different views anytime by clicking Comments in the right corner of the ribbon. If you reopen a resolved comment, it will be visible again in the contextual view. You can interact with comments in the Comments pane the same as you would in the contextual view. To view all comments, including all resolved comments, open the Comments pane by clicking Comments in the ribbon. This contextual view hides all resolved comments so you can focus on active comments. When you select a comment, a border appears around it and its position is closer to the page.
In this view, all active comments are visible in context. When you add a comment in Word, you'll see it appear in the right margin as close to the insertion point in the text as possible.
Modern comments aligns the commenting experience across Word platforms and other Office apps, especially Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The modern comments experience in Word sets the stage for richer collaboration by your team and enables features such as notifications.
