Question 1
How does tracking changes help a reviewer?
It records edits so the reviewer can see what changed and decide whether to accept or reject the revisions.
What to learn
Prepare a workbook for collaboration, record changes, add comments and review edits. Accept or reject changes, merge versions and compare sheets to resolve differences.
- Shared files need clear editing rules and version awareness.
- Tracked changes make edits reviewable.
- Comments explain a cell’s context without replacing its value.
- Comparing or merging sheets helps reconcile contributions.
Practical activity
With a partner, edit a shared sample workbook. Add a comment to a value, record one change, review it, accept or reject it, and compare the result with the original copy.
Use your school’s prescribed software version and teacher instructions. Keep personal information out of public practice files.

Question 3
Why compare two spreadsheet versions?
Comparison reveals differences between copies and helps the team preserve valid updates while resolving conflicts.
