Objectifs :
This document aims to provide a comprehensive guide on how to effectively use the review tools in document editing, specifically focusing on Track Changes and comments. It will cover customization options, markup visibility, and document inspection to enhance collaborative editing.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Review Tools
In collaborative document editing, utilizing review tools is essential for tracking changes and comments made by different authors. This guide will explore various ways to customize these tools to improve your editing experience. -
Using the Reviewing Pane
The Reviewing Pane is a valuable feature that lists all changes and comments along with the authors responsible for them. To enable this feature, simply turn on the Reviewing Pane. If you prefer a less cluttered view, you can turn it off, switch to Simple Markup, and hide comments. This allows for a cleaner workspace while still retaining access to all markup when needed. -
Customizing Markup Visibility
You can manage the visibility of different types of markup by clicking on 'Show Markup.' This option allows you to select which markup elements you want to see or hide, providing flexibility based on your editing needs. -
Adjusting Markup Colors
To change how markup appears, access the Tracking dialog box launcher and select 'Advanced Options.' Here, you can customize the colors used for insertions and deletions, which are typically different for each author. However, note that the color assigned to each author cannot be changed. -
Locking Track Changes
If you are collaborating with multiple reviewers via email, you can lock Track Changes to prevent alterations. Click the arrow under Track Changes, select 'Lock Tracking,' and enter a password. This ensures that any changes made will be marked, and reviewers cannot accept or reject changes until the document is unlocked with the password. -
Using the Document Inspector
Before finalizing a document, it is advisable to use the Document Inspector. Navigate to 'File,' then 'Info,' and select 'Check for Issues' followed by 'Inspect Document.' This tool checks for hidden comments or revisions and allows you to remove them, ensuring a clean final document. -
Conclusion
By understanding and utilizing the review tools effectively, you can enhance your collaborative editing process. For further information on these tools, refer to the links provided in the course summary.
FAQ :

How can I customize the markup colors in my document?
You can customize markup colors by clicking the Tracking dialog box launcher and selecting Advanced Options. This allows you to change how insertions and deletions appear, but the color assigned to each author cannot be changed.

Lock Tracking prevents reviewers from turning off Track Changes. When enabled, all changes made to the document will be marked, and reviewers cannot accept or reject changes until it is unlocked with a password.
How do I use the Document Inspector?
To use the Document Inspector, click on File, then Info, and select Check for Issues. From there, you can click Inspect Document to check for hidden comments and revisions before publishing.
What is Simple Markup?
Simple Markup is a viewing option that provides a cleaner view of the document by hiding comments and showing a simplified version of the markup, allowing for more space.
Quelques cas d'usages :
Collaborative Document Editing
When multiple team members are reviewing a document, using the Reviewing Pane helps track all changes and comments effectively, ensuring everyone is aware of edits made by others.
Managing Feedback from Multiple Reviewers
Locking Track Changes is useful when you have many reviewers. It ensures that all edits are recorded without the risk of someone turning off the tracking feature, maintaining the integrity of the review process.
Preparing Documents for Publication
Before publishing a document, using the Document Inspector to check for hidden comments and revisions can help ensure that the final version is clean and professional.
Customizing Document Appearance
Adjusting markup colors through the Tracking dialog box can help differentiate edits made by various authors, making it easier to identify contributions in collaborative projects.
Streamlining Document Review Process
Using Simple Markup allows reviewers to focus on the main content without being distracted by comments, while still having the option to view detailed markup when needed.
