when working on a document you may want
to see how it changes and grows
especially if multiple users are
involved thankfully Google Docs lets you
track those changes comment on them and
decide whether they should be added to
the document Google Docs calls this
feature suggestion mode but it's very
similar to the track changes feature in
Microsoft Word to get started let's look
at a Google Doc that I own I've already
shared this document with a co-worker
using the share button in the top right
corner I also want my coworker to know
what I'm changing
let's click the pencil icon below the
share button and select suggesting
now anything you add is highlighted
well anything you delete is crossed out
to the right a suggestion box appears
with every change this gives other users
a chance to review changes before
they're made permanent the next time I
view my document I see that my coworker
has also made changes now I want to ask
a question about this particular change
so let's leave a comment in the
suggestion box just click the text field
write a response
and select reply
I'm happy with this change so let's
approve it by clicking the checkmark it
will then become part of the document
you can also reject a change by clicking
the X and it will disappear to leave
suggestion mode click suggesting in the
top right corner and select editing you
can still accept reject or comment on
suggestions while in editing mode you
just can't create new ones you can also
track changes in the mobile version of
Google Docs while viewing a document tap
the more icon and select suggest changes
now you can track changes just like in
the web browser version
to review a change tap the checkmark and
select one finally swipe down on the
comment window to close it
