In a word-processing document, you can track changes to body text (but not to text in text boxes or tables). Changed text appears in a different color from the surrounding text, and change bars appear in the margin. You can choose to show or hide tracked changes.
You can review tracked changes and accept or reject them individually or all together.
Note: If the document is shared on iCloud and you turn on change tracking, collaborators using Pages for iCloud can only view the document.
Tap
in the toolbar, then tap Change Tracking.
Turn on Tracking.
If this is the first time you’ve turned on change tracking, enter a name to use in your comments.
If you need to make changes that you don’t want to be tracked, you can pause change tracking, make changes, and then turn it back on. Tap
, tap Change Tracking, then tap Pause.
Note: If the document is shared on iCloud and you turn on change tracking, collaborators using Pages for iCloud can only view the document.
Tap
in the toolbar, then tap Change Tracking.
With Tracking turned on, tap the View option you want:
Markup: Displays deleted text with a strikethrough and new text in a different color from the surrounding text.
Markup Without Deletions: Displays only the new text in a different color from the surrounding text. Deleted text is hidden.
Final: Displays new text in the same color as the surrounding text and hides deleted text. Pages continues to track changes, so if you change to a different view, you can see them.
To be sure all changes are visible, tap
, tap Change Tracking, then tap Markup.
Do any of the following:
Tap an instance of marked text, then tap Accept or Reject.
Select a range of text, then tap Accept or Reject.
All tracked changes within the range are accepted or rejected at once.
Turn off change tracking. A dialog asks if you want to accept or reject all changes.
If you reject all changes, the text reverts to the original.
