This episode walks through how to effectively use Track Changes and Comments in Microsoft Word with JAWS, making document collaboration more accessible and manageable. Liz and Rachel break down how Track Changes works, including how to turn it on, interpret edits like insertions and deletions, and switch between different viewing modes such as Original, No Markup, Simple Markup, and All Markup.

They also share practical strategies for navigating revisions more efficiently using JAWS-specific keyboard commands, including how to review edits individually, filter changes by reviewer, and use the revisions pane for a clearer overview. The discussion covers how to accept or reject changes, lock tracking to prevent further edits, and customize what types of changes are displayed.

In the second half, the focus shifts to modern comments in Word. Rachel explains how comments have evolved, including features like drafting before posting, @mentions, threaded replies, and improved navigation. You'll learn multiple ways to move through comments, create new ones, and manage existing threads by editing, resolving, or deleting them.

Whether you're collaborating on documents for school or work, this episode provides actionable tips and keyboard shortcuts to streamline your workflow and confidently review documents using JAWS.
