Track changes
Keep track of the changes you and your coworkers by making them easy to spot.
Changes are like suggestions which you can review, reject, or accept to make them permanent. There are several ways to display changes, which you can find in the Track tab. If you want to hide tracked changes, select Final or Original. Final displays the document as if all tracked changes were accepted, whereas Original displays the document as if you had rejected them, but both will only hide tracked changes instead of removing them.
Turn on or off Track Changes
On Track tab, choose Track Changes.
-
When Track Changes is on, the section is highlighted. Different authors' changes are indicated with different colors.
-
When Track Changes is off, the section is not highlighted. Right PDF stops marking changes, but the colored underlines and strikethroughs are still in the document.

Review changes
Remove the markings by accepting or rejecting the changes. Right-click on the tracked changes and choose either Accept Change or Reject Change. Or you can click it and, on the Track tab, in the Review Changes group, click Accept > Accept and Move to Next, or Reject > Reject and Move to Next.
You can also accept or reject all changes at once. In the Reviews Changes group, click the arrow on the Accept or Reject button and then choose Accept All Changes in Document or Reject All Changes in Document.
