Working Together Using Track Changes
Working on a document with your team can be challenging. Emailing among teammates creates multiple, conflicting versions of a document. Saving versions of the file leaves file space disorganized and inefficient. Use track changes to work together on one version of the document, or combine the different versions to reconcile the differences in the document from each teammate.
