Layout view displays one worksheet at a time. The navigation pane lists each worksheet. |
| PowerPoint | Displays all slides with slide notes below each slide. Navigation pane displays all slides by title. | Layout view displays one slide at a time. This can be useful if you have a long presentation, a slow connection or wish to refresh regularly. |
| Plain Text | Displays the document. | Either screen area may be used for commenting. When you navigate using the navigation pane or comment window, the top pane is scrolled to the correct location. The comment window will reflect the line most recently selected. |
| Image Collection | Normal view displays all images on the same page with a separator between them. | Layout view displays one image at a time. This can be useful if you have a large image collection, a slow connection or wish to refresh regularly. |
Tracked Changes
There are two view options for displaying tracked changes/mark up in the document: ‘Tracked Changes (Open)’ and ‘Tracked Changes (Accepted)’. Note, these options are only available for Excel documents.
| Tracked Changes (Open) View | Tracked Changes (Accepted) View |
|---|---|

Open proposed changes (not accepted or closed) show as tracked changes. Tracked changes display in coloured text with deleted text struck through and inserted text underlined. Changes applied by different Reviewers display in assorted colours. |

Accepted proposed changes show as inserted text (the document text is updated with the accepted proposed change). The P icon indicates a paragraph with an accepted proposed change. |
