Co-Author Question

Question

Hi,&nbsp;If people are using co-authoring on a document, are the changes tracked? Co-authoring seems to disable track changes? This is new to me so I#m probably missing something.

Hi&nbsp;DaithiG&nbsp;Word Online doesn't allow tracking.&nbsp;If you want to track changes, you'll need to do it via the Word desktop app instead ensuring that the file is also on SharePoint/OneDrive (and appropriate access to the file is set) to allow for co-authoring.&nbsp;Best wishesDamien

Thanks&nbsp;Damien_Rosario, this would be in the desktop app. We've discovered panicked users using Word Online and track changes

Hi&nbsp;DaithiG&nbsp;So your users thought Word online could do it? Has&nbsp;co-authoring in the desktop app resolved their issue?&nbsp;CheersDamien&nbsp;
