Word - Track changes online Tutorial
In this video, you will learn how to track changes online using Microsoft 365. Collaborating with multiple people can be confusing when dealing with multiple copies of a document.
However, by collaborating online, you can work off the same original document without making copies.
To get started, save your document online in your OneDrive or your organization's Office 365 site.
Then, share the document with your writing team by adding their email addresses and requesting them to open the document in Word with track changes turned on.
Once the document is shared, team members can open it in Word online or in Word if they have it installed.
They can make revisions and comments, which will update the online document.
Changes made by other team members will be visible in real-time.
You can collaborate with others in real-time, communicate using an app like Skype for Business, and make final edits.
If online collaboration is not an option, Word also has tools to help you deal with changes in multiple copies.
Tracking changes online simplifies the collaboration process and eliminates the need for combining documents or waiting for changes via email.

Objectifs :
This video aims to teach users how to effectively collaborate on documents online using Word, highlighting the benefits of real-time editing and tracking changes.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Online Collaboration
Collaborating with multiple people on a document can often lead to confusion due to the presence of multiple copies. However, by utilizing online collaboration tools, all collaborators can work off the same original document, simplifying the process significantly. -
Saving Your Document Online
To begin collaborating online, finish the first draft of your document. Then, follow these steps: 1. Click on 'File' and select 'Save As'. 2. Choose 'Add a Place' to save the document online. 3. You can save it in your OneDrive or your organization’s Office 365 site. 4. After signing in, select a place and then a folder to save your document. -
Sharing the Document
Once your document is saved online, you can share it with your writing team: 1. Click 'Share' on the toolbar. 2. Add the email addresses of your team members. 3. Type a message, including a request for them to open the document in Word and to turn on 'Track Changes'. 4. Click 'Share'. Each team member will receive a share request via email. -
Editing the Document
When team members open the email, they can click the link to access the document in Word Online. They have two options for editing: - Click 'Edit Document' and select 'Edit in the Browser' if they do not have Word installed. - Click 'Edit in Word' if they have the application. After signing in, they can turn on 'Track Changes' from the 'Review' tab, allowing them to make revisions and comments. -
Real-Time Collaboration
As team members make changes and save their work, the online document updates automatically. This allows everyone to see each other's changes in real-time. Key features include: - Icons indicating who is currently working on the document. - Immediate visibility of changes after saving. - The ability to communicate via applications like Skype for Business while editing. -
Finalizing the Document
After all edits are complete, you can manage sharing settings: 1. Click 'Share' and right-click on the user icon. 2. Choose to either remove the user or change their permissions to 'Can View'. Finally, you can make any last edits, accept or reject changes, and delete comments. While online collaboration simplifies the process, Word also offers tools to manage changes in multiple document copies if online options are unavailable.
