The Reviewing Pane provides another way to view document markup. The currently visible revisions (tracked changes and comments) appear as a list in a separate window which you can display below or to the left of the document.

The Reviewing Pane title bar displays a Summary showing the total number of visible revisions. If you use the Show Markup button to hide some revisions, the summary indicates that you are viewing a filtered list. A detailed summary of the visible revisions appears below the title bar and shows how many Insertions , Deletions , Moves , Formatting changes, and Comments are visible. Hide the detailed summary, if desired.

The list of revisions is divided into sections. The first section shows Main document changes and comments and the following sections show Header and footer changes, Text box changes, header and footer text box changes, footnote changes, and endnote changes, respectively.

Edit Comments in the Reviewing Pane and continue working in the document with the Reviewing Pane open.
