Tracking Changes

As you revise a document, you can automatically record your changes. This feature is

useful, for example, when you work on a document with others, so that your

collaborators can easily see your changes.

To turn on change tracking, click Track Changes in the toolbar. Each person who edits

the document is automatically assigned a unique color. Any change you make is

recorded in a “change bubble” along the outside edge of the document. Others have

the opportunity to accept or reject your changes.

Change bubbles appear for added or deleted text, replaced text, character and

paragraph formatting changes, and more. For more information about change

tracking, see Pages Help or the Pages User’s Guide.
