How to use track changes in Word

May 23, 2021 by mechanicaleng blog Leave a Comment

Track changes in word is a feature that allows us to track changes if there are, in formatting or in content in Word documents.
Similar to the Comment feature, Track Changes is often applied in lesson plans, contracts, drafts, etc. However, this feature will allow users to directly edit the content of the document. And all changes will be automatically highlighted with Color, Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, …
Now you’ve heard about what it is, let’s go find out what it does.

CONCLUSION

As you can see, using Track Changes in Word to track changes occur in editing documents is extremely useful. You may see this feature quite familiar with another feature of Word is Comment – which I will talk about it in another post – but the big different between them is: Comment only gives you the right to make a comment while Track Changes allows you to comment and have the right to edit directly into the content.
Hope this article will be useful to you. Goodbye and see you in the next posts!
