Back in August we told you about the interesting ‘Show Changes’ feature in Excel which tracks not only edits made to a workbook but who made them. Since then eager Excel users have wondered when it’ll appear in Excel 365 for Windows or Mac … and so are we.
According to Microsoft’s own documentation, Show Changes is available in “Excel for Microsoft 365 Excel for Microsoft 365 for Mac Excel for the web”
As far as we can tell, it’s only available in Excel for the web on the Review tab.
No sign of it in the public or Current Channel versions of Excel 365 for Windows or Mac, despite what Microsoft’s docs say.
What’s going on?
For as long as we can remember, there have been disconnects between Microsoft releasing features and the documentation for them.
Sometimes the online support info is ahead of the customer reality, as in this case. More commonly, Microsoft’s info lags behind.
There’s nothing you can do except sigh and wait. Or use Excel on the web while we’re waiting …
Show Changes is a wonderful addition to Excel
