Which document feature tracks edits in a document, commonly used in word processors?

• A. Auto Save
• B. Track Changes
• C. History Log
• D. Revisions

Answer: (B)

Tracking edits in a document is about showing exactly what was changed, who made the change, and when it happened, all while keeping the original text visible. This feature marks insertions, deletions, and formatting tweaks so reviewers can see every modification and decide whether to accept or reject it. It’s essential for collaboration because multiple people can work on a draft without losing a clear history of edits, and the final version can be assembled after review.

Auto Save simply stores the current state of the file as you work, but it doesn’t annotate or display what changed over time. A History Log or Revisions might exist in some tools, but the common, widely recognized way to visibly track edits inside the document itself is Track Changes, which is designed specifically for showing and managing edits within the text.
