Although this method is very accurate and helpful, it can also become very tedious, particularly with long documents. Furthermore, you can accept or decline any changes made by just right-clicking on the revision itself. It is a very handy function that allows a user to not only view corrections but also to compare two documents to check if they are identical. Also, comments appear in the margin to the right of the document. The corrections appear as highlighted text in a different color than the original version.
The Microsoft Word Track Changes function allows a user to view all amendments made to an original document.
If you are writing a document that will subsequently be corrected by a tutor, peer, colleague, or professional editor, it is more than likely that person will use Track Changes to facilitate these revisions.
