This FAQ covers common questions about using Accept/Reject Changes on Android, including missing buttons, batch actions, and traditional-mode review.
FAQ
Why can’t I see the Accept or Reject button?
- Make sure you opened a Writer document that already contains tracked changes.
- Go to Tools > Review and turn on Show Revisions.
- Tap a specific revision and then check whether Accept or Reject appears.
What is the difference between Accept All Changes and accepting changes one by one?
- Accept All Changes processes every tracked revision in the document at once.
- Accepting changes one by one is better when you only want to keep some edits.
- If you still need to review each revision carefully, use one-by-one actions first.
When should I use traditional mode?
- Traditional mode is useful when you want to review revisions from a side list.
- After you turn on Traditional Mode for Comments and Revisions, you can select revisions from the right-side panel.
- This layout is helpful when a document contains many revisions.
What should I check before I reject all changes?
- Confirm that none of the tracked revisions should be kept.
- Rejecting all changes affects the entire set of revisions in the document.
- If you only want to remove some edits, reject revisions one by one instead.
