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.
