How to Stop Tracking Changes in Word

To begin disabling Track Changes so your future edits in the document aren’t highlighted, launch the word app and open your document.

When your document opens, in Word’s ribbon at the top, select the “Review” tab.

Open the "Review" tab.

On the “Review” tab, select Tracking > Track Changes. This will disable the feature.

Choose Tracking > Track Changes.

What to Do If You Can’t Turn Track Changes Off

If “Track Changes” is grayed out and you can’t click it, your document’s author has locked the feature. In this case, you’ll need the password (if one was set up) that was used to lock the feature to unlock it.

A grayed out "Track Changes" option.

Once you’ve obtained the password, in Word’s “Review” tab, click “Tracking” and choose the down-arrow icon next to “Track Changes.”

In the open menu, select “Lock Tracking.”

Choose "Lock Tracking" in the menu.

On the “Unlock Tracking” window, enter your password and select “OK.”

Enter the password and select "OK."

To now turn off the feature, select Tracking > Track Changes.

Select Tracking > Track Changes.

And that’s it. The feature is now disabled.
