Check out our technology tip for this week: Track Changes in Microsoft Word!

'Track Changes' is a powerful tool that significantly enhances collaboration, transparency, and efficiency during the document editing process. 

The visual representation of tracked changes makes it easy for authors to see exactly what changes have been made, allowing them to respond to edits and update their text in a structured and efficient way. No edits go unnoticed, and documents can gain final approval from all involved in a timelier manner.
