Accept or reject tracked changes in Word for PC

Or click here for Microsoft 365 for Mac.

Before you share your document, remove any markup by accepting or rejecting tracked changes and deleting comments.

Important:  The only way to remove tracked changes is to accept or reject them, and the only way to remove comments is to delete them. Choosing the No Markup view only temporarily hides changes and comments, and will show up again the next time someone opens the document.
