Tracking Changes

  1. Tracking Changes
    Use

    This tool helps multiple people editing a document without overwriting the original document. This feature will track all the changes and corrections and differentiate the corrections made by different users by using multiple colors.

    How to
    Click on the TOOLS option on your Menu bar and select TRACK CHANGES and edit the document like you usually would. The tracker keeps track of every character deleted as well as every character inserted. It also keeps track of basic formatting changes.
    You will be able to track changes using some icons which are present on the Standard Toolbar.
