# what is track changes in a word document?

Track Changes is a feature in Microsoft Word that allows users to make edits, revisions, and comments in a document while keeping a record of all the changes made. When Track Changes is turned on, any modifications made to the document are highlighted and displayed in a different color, along with the user's name or initials. This feature is commonly used for collaborative editing, reviewing, and proofreading documents, as it enables multiple users to make and review changes without permanently altering the original content. Additionally, Track Changes allows users to accept or reject individual changes, add comments, and compare different versions of the document.
