Note About Track Changes


EPD instructors will sometimes use the Comments or Track Changes feature in MS Office applications, adding their own "layer" of comments, rather than actually modifying the original document by inserting or deleting text. This is an important distinction. Their comments will appear in a balloon figure in the right margin or in a separate reviewing plane at the bottom of the page, depending on the document view that the reader selects.

When working with others on a team project, use all of the comment and track changes tools. Suggested conventions for the use of comments in conjunction with other tracking features are below.

Use comments for description. Actually modifying the document is reserved for procedures agreed upon in advance. If a document is changed, then use the comment feature to explain why the change was made or to point out anything unusual about the change.
