Document Review

Enable the Track Changes feature

To see changes suggested by a reviewer, enable the Track Changes option in one of the following ways:

• click the  button in the right lower corner on the status bar, or

• switch to the Collaboration tab on the top toolbar and press the Track Changes button.

View changes

Changes made by a user are highlighted with a specific color in the document text. When you click on the changed text, a pop-up window opens which displays the user name, the date and time when the change has been made, and the change description. The pop-up window also contains icons used to accept or reject the current change.

If you drag and drop a piece of text to some other place in the document, the text in a new position will be underlined with the double line. The text in the original position will be double-crossed. This will count as a single change.

Click the double-crossed text in the original position and use the arrow in the change pop-up window to go to the new location of the text.

Click the double-underlined text in the new position and use the arrow in the change pop-up window to go to to the original location of the text.

Choose the changes display mode

Click the Display Mode button on the top toolbar and select one of the available modes from the list:

• Markup: this option is selected by default. It allows both viewing the suggested changes and editing the document.

• Final: this mode is used to display all the changes as if they were accepted. This option does not actually accept all changes, it only allows you to see how the document will look like after you accept all the changes. In this mode, you cannot edit the document.

• Original: this mode is used to display all the changes as if they were rejected. This option does not actually reject all changes, it only allows you to view the document without changes. In this mode, you cannot edit the document.

Accept or reject changes

Use the Previous and the Next buttons on the top toolbar to navigate through the changes.

To accept the currently selected change you can:

• click the Accept button on the top toolbar, or

• click the downward arrow below the Accept button and select the Accept Current Change option (in this case, the change will be accepted and you will proceed to the next change), or

• click the Accept button of the change pop-up window.

To quickly accept all the changes, click the downward arrow below the Accept button and select the Accept All Changes option.

To reject the current change you can:

• click the Reject button on the top toolbar, or

• click the downward arrow below the Reject button and select the Reject Current Change option (in this case, the change will be rejected and you will move on to the next available change), or

• click the Reject button of the change pop-up window.

To quickly reject all the changes, click the downward arrow below the Reject button and select the Reject All Changes option.
