How can I see if a document has been edited on g-drive?
I wonder if it's possible to see if a word document has been edited with track changes on google drive?
Currently I received two worddocuments from the same person which çloned when I accept changes and try to save them working in word version of office 2016. What i notice in the document itself is that with the track changes there are 2 ways in which it is shown: one with the name of the editor and one with the term user instead of the name of the person. If I try to save it after accepting some changes. The document will make a new document with the name 'document 2', 'document 3'etc. Many thanks in advance for your reply! |

I suspect that there is no way to tell which program has added tracked changes in a Word document (if that is what you are asking).
What happens if you download the document from Google Drive, saving it in *.docx format, and then opening the document in Word? In Word, it is possible to always use the "local" user name (specified in File > Options > General) or to make use of the user name in OneDrive. This is controlled by the "Always use these values regardless of sign in to Office" at File > Options > General.
