Which to use

  • Comments: ask questions or suggest without changing text;
  • Track changes: edit directly with marks for the other party to confirm.

Steps

  1. Review → New Comment, or select text and insert a comment;
  2. Review → Track Changes so every edit is marked;
  3. Accept or reject each change, then turn tracking off.

Delivery

Keep the marked-up file when you need a record. Before sending outside, accept all changes and save a new copy so no marks leak.
