One of the best PRODUCED tutorial videos I've ever come across. Excellent voiceover, look, and overall flow. Bravo! Making videos that look this good takes a good deal of time and, most certainly, must come out of a labor of love. Thank you for providing this excellent tutorial for free. Subscribed!

[@GCFLearnFree]

Thanks so much for the compliments. We're so glad to hear you're enjoying our videos!

[@mitcharquette8714]

I'm currently a graduate student and I never heard of Track Changes until today. My professor told me she will complete the revisions on my paper and recommends me to view the changes in Track Changes. This video is super helpful. I will always use this feature from here on out! THANK YOU!!!

Super helpful. I had one company sent me the Contract with those "Tracking Changes". I was confused. Now I just found this video and it helped me.
I accepted whatever I needed in document and even made my own changes and toes to them. Thank you for opening to a new world. Peace )))))

[@coelila]

This is a fantastic resource! May I have permission to embed this video on my freelance editing website? I will give you full credit. My clients often struggle to know how to use the tracking feature and this video would really help them!

[@GCFLearnFree]

Absolutely! Credit is all we ask of you. We're glad we can help your clients!

[@lillihausenfluck4548]

Is there a way to make the line that indicates a change back into a defined line of a chosen color, size, and placement rather than the new (as of Word 2013 or 2016) gray line that is interactive and closer to the edge of the page than the former default line?

[@GCFLearnFree]

To change the placement, you can go to Review > Show Markup > Balloons and choose one of the different options. The tracked changes appear in a different color for each editor by default, but you can customize them by clicking the small arrow in the lower-right corner of the Tracking group (on the Review tab) and clicking Advanced Options in the dialog box. We hope this helps!

[@dianaawino]

Thanka👌👌
