Some of the documents you will find on the Office of Human Resources website will, by default, have Track Changes turned on, so that you can quickly see the changes you or others have made to the document.  Once you are done editing your document you may want to view your file without your edits.  To do this follow these steps.

You will start with your text looking similar to the following example:

Accepting your Track Changes

2. Click on the down arrow below the Accept button

3. Select either Accept and Move to Next or Accept All Changes in Document from the dropdown menu
