Problem: You are collaborating on a document with another person, and you want to make changes to that document. However, you’d like for the changes to stand out so that the other person knows what you have inserted, deleted, or moved.
Solution: Before making changes to the document, enable Word’s Track Changes feature on the Review tab to show your changes to the document.
Explanation: Track Changes will show the text that you inserted, as well at the text that you deleted or moved. Attorneys often refer to a document that includes Track Changes as a Redline Document.

Problem: Your drafting partner has tracked changes within our document. However, you want to incorporate some of the changes, but not all of them.
Solution: On the Review tab, you have the option to accept or reject changes within your document.
Explanation: You can choose to accept all of the changes in a document, or you can accept each change one by one, also rejecting changes that you do not want to integrate into your document. By the end, you should have a clean document without tracked changes.
