Step-by-step instructions
This workflow shows how to review a document in Microsoft Word on macOS using Track Changes, so edits and comments are recorded for the author to accept or reject. You will turn on tracking, make a change, and view the resulting markup.
- In the Word ribbon, click the Review tab to open the document review tools.
- On the Review tab, click Tracking to open the change-tracking options.
- In the Tracking menu, click Track Changes to start recording your edits in the document.
- Double-click a word in the document body to place your cursor and select it for editing.
- Make your edit, then look to the markup margin on the right where the tracked change appears (for example, a deletion labeled with the reviewer's name).
- On the right side, click the markup card showing the reviewer's name (for example, "Belting, Julian Jakob") to view the tracked change details.
