Tracking Changes and Managing Comments
Track and View Changes
To track the changes made by collaborators in Zoho Writer, the contract owner must enable the Track Changes option in the document editor.
There are two ways to enable this option:
- Click Enable Track Changes on the success message alert that pops up when you add a collaborator.
- Turn on the Track Changes switch button on the toolbar at the top of the document editor when in Review mode or on the status bar of the document editor.
When you have the track changes option enabled, the changes made in the document by the collaborators will be displayed as redlining. Please refer to the screenshot below.
You can also view all the changes made by the collaborators in the Changes panel on the right when in Review mode. This helps you access each change quickly.
To view the Changes panel:
- Select Review mode at the top of the document editor.
- Select the Changes panel on the right.
Enable Track Changes in MS Word
