Video: Track changes and show markup

Try it!

Turn on Track Changes to show edits made in a document, and use Show Markup to show the types of revisions you'd like to display.

Use Track Changes

Select Review > Track Changes to turn it on.

Make edits in your document and Word captures any edits you make.
Select Review > Track Changes to turn it off.

Word stops making new edits, and any made stay in the document.

Use Show Markup

Select Review > Display for Review.
Select the option you want:
- Simple Markup points out where changes are made with a red line in the margin.
- All Markup shows all edits with different colors of text and lines.
- No Markup hides markup to show what the incorporated changes will look like.
- Original shows the document in its original form.
In the Show Markup list, select the types of revisions you'd like to see:
- Comments
- Insertions and Deletions
- Formatting
- Balloons
- Specific People
