Have you ever been concerned about your document accidentally getting modified when sharing it with your colleagues? Today,Microsoft has made it easierto switch between viewing, reviewing, and editing modes in Word for Windows.
You can use viewing mode to make sure there’s no interaction with the document while reading it. Reviewing mode is available for tracking changes and making notes on your document and of course, editing mode allows full editing. See below to easily take advantage of these new modes.
A couple of tips and tricks to keep in mind for your workflow, enabling Track Changes does automatically put the document in Reviewing mode. If you open a document you don’t have permission to edit, you can still view it, but you will be blocked from making any changes.
This feature is already available for Word on the Web users and is rolling out in the beta channel version 2206 (Build 15314.10000) or later.
