Microsoft Word has made it incredibly easy to track the changes made to any document and to restore previous versions. We’re going to show you how to view and restore previous versions of a Word document.

To use this method, you’re going to need an active Microsoft 365 subscription. This is a requirement because Microsoft Word enables version history only when files are saved to OneDrive. Fortunately, you get 1TB of OneDrive storage along with your Microsoft 365 subscription.

You’ll also need to save your document to OneDrive, which will ensure that it’s being saved automatically. Once this is done, you can continue to work on the document, and Microsoft Word will keep storing various versions of your document.

The first step is to view previous versions of Word documents. The fastest way to do this is by clicking the file name in the top bar in Microsoft Word.

Here, you’ll need to select “Version History.”

Alternatively, you can click the “File” button from the top menu bar.

Now, select “Info.”

Select Info

Click the “Version History” button.

This will open up the Version History pane on the right. The most recent version of your document will be listed at the top. Word also helpfully sorts your changes by date, which makes it a lot easier to track older versions of large documents.

To view any version of a document, click “Open version.” This will open that version of the file. You can confirm that it’s an older version by checking for the Previous Version label above the document.

On the same line, you can select the “Compare” button to see what was changed. This will copy the old version of the file to a new document and highlight the changes made compared to previous versions of the document.

We’re going to show you how to find exactly what was changed here. First, click the up arrow icon below “Revisions.”

This will show you exactly what kinds of changes were made to the document and how many revisions in all were made in this version.

The Revisions pane highlights the kind of changes made to a document

To check out the changes made in more detail, scroll down in the left pane. This highlights all the modifications.

The left pane shows all the changes you made to the Word document

On the right side, you’ll see a vertical red line next to some paragraphs. This is just a simple way to show that changes were made here in this version of the document. There’s a way to see more detailed changes, too.

Go to the “Review” menu.

In the Tracking section, click the down arrow next to “Simple Markup.”

Now, select “All Markup.” This will reveal the details that we were after. Parts that were removed are highlighted with a red font and a strikethrough. Additions are colored red and also have an underline.

Select All Markup

Once you’re done reviewing these changes, feel free to save the document if you need to.

Restore Previous Versions of Word Documents

We’ll now close this document and return to the previous one where we first saw the option to compare an older version. Here, you can click the “Restore” button to make this the most recent version of your Word document.

In case you didn’t want to do this, you can always go to the Version History pane and restore older versions using the same method.

How-To Geek is where you turn when you want experts to explain technology. Since we launched in 2006, our articles have been read billions of times. Want to know more?

Помимо множества функций, значительно упрощающих работу с документами, Microsoft Office обладает одной ключевой — программа может автоматически отслеживать изменения, внесенные в документ, и сохранять все версии. История документа позволяет вам восстановить предыдущую версию в Word, Excel или PowerPoint с помощью Windows 10 или веб-версии приложения.

Более того, с помощью истории можно одновременно посмотреть на несколько версий и сравнить их, отследить процесс создания документа.

Хоть это и полезная функция, которая позволит вам не беспокоиться о том, что вы или кто-то другой изменит документ, нужно помнить, что она работает только с документами, которые сохраняются в OneDrive, OneDrive для бизнеса или в SharePoint, причем в зависимости от платформы процесс включения этой функции может отличаться.

В этой инструкции мы расскажем, как включить историю в Office, чтобы восстанавливать прошлые версии документов.

Возможноть сохранять все версии и просматривать их появляется только если сохранить документ в OneDrive, таким образом, сначала вам требуется убедиться, что Office 365 или Office 2019 или Office 2016 подключены к облаку.

Как включить историю в Office

Чтобы подключить десктопную версию Office к OneDrive, сделайте следующее:

  1. Откройте приложение Office. (Например, Microsoft Word.)
  2. Создайте пустой документ.
  3. В правом верхнем углу выберите Войти.
  4. Используйте свои данные для входа в аккаунт Office или Microsoft, чтобы подключиться к OneDrive.

Выполнив эти шаги, воспользуйтесь инструкцией ниже, чтобы Office начал сохранять версии ваших документов в Word, Excel и PowerPoint.

Как пользоваться историей в Office

Вот что нудно сделать, чтобы воспользоваться историей в декстопной версии Office:

  1. Откройте приложение Office. (Например, Microsoft Word.)
  2. Создайте пустой документ.
  3. Выберите Файл.
  4. Нажмите Сохранить.
  5. Сохраните файл в папке OneDrive (если вы воспользуетесь другим расположением, история не будет открываться).
  6. В правом верхнем углу нажмите История документа.
  7. Выберите версию, которую вы хотите восстановить и просмотреть.
  8. Опционально: если вы не уверены, какая версия вам нужна, нажмите «Сравнить».
  9. Нажмите Восстановить.

Когда вы выполните эти шаги, все версии документа можно будет просмотреть и восстановить.

Если вы восстановили не ту версию, не переживайте: Office создает резервную копию каждой версии, а значит, повторив все вышеперечисленные шаги, вы можете открыть правильную версию.

Также вы можете зайти в раздел История документа через Файл > Информация, где нужно выбрать Просмотреть и восстановить прошлые версии.

Как открыть историю в Office онлайн

Если вы пользуетесь онлайн-версией Office, вы также можете просмотреть и восстановить предыдущие версии, но по какой-то загадочной причине здесь придется следовать другой инструкции, даже если вы пользуетесь OneDrive или OneDrive для бизнеса.

История документа Office через OneDrive

Чтобы просмотреть и восстановить предыдущие версии документа Office онлайн, проделайте следующее:

  1. Откройте OneDrive онлайн.
  2. Найдите расположение документа, историю которого вы хотите просмотреть.
  3. Нажмите на файл правой кнопкой мыши и выберите Посмотреть историю.
  4. Браузер откроет окно с панелью справа, на которой есть все доступные версии документа.
  5. Выберите и просмотрите версию.
  6. Нажмите Восстановить.

После выполнения этих шагов вы сможете начать работу со старой версией документа.

Как открыть историю документа в OneDrive для бизнеса

Если вы пользуетесь OneDrive для бизнеса, сделайте следующее:

  1. Откройте OneDrive для бизнеса онлайн.
  2. Найдите расположение документа, историю которого авы хотите просмотреть.
  3. Нажмите на файл правой кнопкой мыши и выберите Посмотреть историю.
  4. На панели справа нажмите на иконку с многоточием, чтобы выбрать действие. Выберите из вариантов:
    • Восстановить — восстанавливает версию документа в оригинальную папку OneDrive.
    • Открыть файл — запускает файл в десктопной версии Office на вашем ПК.
    • Удалить версию — удаляет версию из OneDrive.

Если вы выбрали Восстановить, тогда вы можете начать работу с прошлой версией файла, открыв документ еще раз с помощью онлайн- или десктопной версии приложения. Однако, если вы выбрали Открыть файл, старая версия будет скачана и откроется в десктопном приложении. Затем вам понадобится нажать Восстановить, чтобы начать работать с одной из предыдущих версий.

So I recently came across this article:

http://www.cracked.com/article_20058_5-clues-hidden-in-computer-files-that-can-get-you-busted.html

According to this article, not only does Microsoft Word give the option of tracking who made what changes to a document and when … but it actually does so by default, and the only way to prevent the changes from being seen by anyone else is if you know the edit history is there and manually delete it! This has purportedly been used to reveal military fraud, catch political campaign criminals in their acts, and even prove that corporations had purposefully lied about their product to get more sales … all because some people didn’t know the MS Word records your changes by default and didn’t think to manually delete the metadata.

I downloaded MS Word for the first time in forever just to try this out. I’m used to using Apache Open Office. But I wanted to see this edit history in action, so I went ahead and downloaded MS Word.

I’ve been created my own documents so I could see my own edit history, making sure to save often so I would have plenty of edit histories to view. But no matter how many times I make edits to the document and save it, whenever I use the Document Inspector, this is what I get:

I thought this was supposed to be a default setting!

If you have to turn on the «track changes» feature, how did all these stories i read about where militaries and corrupt political candidates got exposed happen?

Both of those say I need to turn on «track changes» manually.

I’m looking for the feature that actually gets cyber criminals caught because they don’t know it exists.

«Track changes» is NOT on by default. At least not in Word 2010, 2013, or 2016.
To my knowledge, it has never been the default.

THen obviously there’s some other feature that’s recording the revision history and getting these cyber criminals caught.

What is it?

Expert forensic analysis of the hard drive can reveal changes made to documents — — all documents, not just Word documents.
That has nothing to do with Word’s «track changes» feature.

But I clearly read about people proving that military reports were fraudulent by downloading copies of those documents off a website. They didn’t have access to the original hard drives; they only had copies of the files in question.
