Tracked Changes: Keeping Track Of The Good And The Bad

         Microsoft Office has thousands of features, too many to lean in one class.  Some of these features are easily displayed for us in the Ribbon, while others you have to navigate through a few windows before finding what you need but they all serve their own unique purpose.  Tracked changes is under the review tab and as discussed in 3.6.1, this feature offer users the option to keep track of changes made to a document when collaborating with other people.  This function is very important for many reasons.  It helps keep track of who made what changes to a document so the team can stay accountable.  You can also send the files over to friends or co workers so they can review and make suggestions.  This feature also makes it very easy to identify the changes made to a document and gives us the options to accept changes made or revert back to the original format..

    When working with many people, it becomes challenging to keep track of who did what and the changes have been made to a document.  Fortunately, the Tracked Changes option in Microsoft Office solves that problem for us.  Tracked changes monitors and displays who and what changes were made to a document in way that is easy to see.  This is important because it allows us to recognize the individuals that make positive contributions as well as the ones who are not on the same page.  Of course, these changes are not permanent and can be ignored.

    Again, this feature is very important to help keep track of changes made to a Word document when collaborating with people.  It gives us the change to praise the good and fix the bad or......just reject all the changes and send it. 🥳🤘

  1. Alonso, "Tracked Changes" is a welcome tool for collaboration. Now as you blogged you can praise, fix, or reject vs. email back and forth wasting precious time.

  4. I agree Microsoft Office has a lot of features that are hidden from the ribbon, making it hard to navigate certain features let alone know they exist. And as you said, the collaboration tool to track changes is so useful. I've used them personally and I expect to use them as I pursue the field of technology.

  5. Microsoft Office tracks and displays all modifications made by users, enabling accountability and easy review of changes. This feature ensures transparency and allows for accepting or rejecting modifications as needed, facilitating efficient teamwork and document management. Your response was very easy to understand rather than a google search.
