4 Easy Ways to Keep Track of Changes in your Document

4 Easy Ways to Keep Track of Changes in your Document

T his could happen to many of us: You come back to work after a long weekend and resume working on something you left unfinished on Friday afternoon. To your surprise, you open the document and discover all sorts of changes, comments, and a multitude of highlights from your teammates. 

This uncanny moment, when you don't recognize your own work anymore, is something we set out to fix with the new improvements in Writer's Version History. Read on:


1. See What's Changed Quickly
 
We wanted to simplify the way you use version history. In particular, we think it should be easy to see changes over time.

That's why we're calling this menu simply See what's changed. It's easily the quickest way to keep track of changes in your document.



 



2. View Changes Since your Last Visit

Here's your one-stop hub to keep track of all that's happened in your document since you last visited. Know what's changed - word by word, letter by letter. All these changes are color-tagged so that you can easily see who changed what.
 
All you have to do is to click on View changes since your last visit button next to the Compose mode button.





3. Bookmark a Particular Version
 
While you're writing a research paper, Writer's Version History captures changes as you work. If your project moves in an unexpected direction, or if you're ready to radically change the document's structure, now you can label a particular version as ''Outline'' or ''Re-organizing paper.'' This way, you can seek through different versions of your paper the way you want.





4. Less is More--and Better
 
We've organized document versions into ''Major'' and ''Minor'' versions so that you don't have to go through endless scrolls to find what you're looking for. Here's how it works:






Now that we've spoken enough about how we've changed our ''history'', we're thrilled to see how you write yours!
 
Happy Writing!
