Microsoft used to have the feature to Track Changes in Excel, but they deprecated it. You can still add it back to the Ribbon by going to Excel options, but this may limit how it can be shared (e.g. you might not be able to share it via OneDrive anymore).
This is a useful feature, so naturally Microsoft has removed it only to re-announce that it's a "new" feature landing soon in Excel. This new feature does the exact same thing as the old feature, so let's hope it stays around... it should roll out to all tenants over the next several months.

I was using an excel file today via teams and co-authoring and I was asked if I wanted to see the changes made. So this is in our tenant and may be in yours now or soon.
