How to Enable Track Changes and Review Edits in Zoho Writer

How to enable Track Changes and review edits in Zoho Writer

Overview

With Track Changes in Zoho Writer, you can visually track all insertions, deletions, and formatting edits made by collaborators. Review and finalize your document using modes like All Markup, No Markup, and Original, then accept or reject changes selectively or all at once. Collaborators with read-write or read-comment access can also enable Track Changes. 

Markup modes
  1. All Markup: To view the document with the edits highlighted.
  2. No Markup: To see how the final document will look like if the edits were accepted. The edits/tracked-changes are only temporarily hidden and will be shown next time the document is opened.
  3. Original: To view a document with all the changes hidden.

Note

  • Markup mode is designed to give you an overview of the document. To permanently remove tracked changes, you must Accept or Reject them. Once the changes are finalized and the document is published within your organization or on the web, it will only appear in its final form—without markup views.
  • When Track Changes is switched on in Zoho Writer, inserted text appears underlined in a unique color, while deleted text is shown with a strikethrough. Each collaborator’s edits are highlighted in different colors, making it easy to review and manage changes
