    The Review Tab allows your document to be inspected to make sure it is as professional and accessible as possible. In addition, it contains many collaboration features that allow users to work together. The Review tab contains the Proofing, Accessibility, Insights, Comments, Changes, and Ink Groups to make your document the best it can be.

    Proofing Group

    clipboard_ec83d45156621bb035472363be71bc0be.png

    The Proofing Tab allows the user to check heir worksheet for spelling errors, and research synonyms available for selected words and launches a Thesaurus toolbar on the right of the screen. The Proofing Tab checks the current active worksheet for errors.

    Accessibility Group

    clipboard_ed712dd4f8d3e1d5c32df03f10de0ff3c.png

    The Accessibility Tab holds one icon- Check Accessibility. Selecting this icon will cause Excel to review their active worksheet t determine if it is readable and accessible for individuals with sight impairment. It will also review any images inserted in the document to make sure that they contain AltText which screen readers use to describe the Image. The Accessibility Checker will launch a window on the right side of the screen to suggest strategies to make your document more accessible.

    Language Group

    clipboard_e3b5c94478e467d7db03bc6983d2e5ace.png

    Like the Accessibility Tab, the Language Tab contains one icon: Translate. Selecting this icon will launch the translator feature of Excel on the right side of the screen. Users can enter the text they wish to translate into another language.

    Comments Group

    clipboard_ed8a0df2319515a3e6d09de7d1afdffa2.png

    The Comments group allows for opportunities to collaborate with other users on the same document. Users can add comments about the document that is unavailable to view with Excel and are usually not printed when the worksheet is completed. Users can also use the controls in this area to delete comments, hide comments, move to the next comment and previous comment.

    Changes Group

    clipboard_ed2469c7558814224dd47b013d7e711cc.png

    The Changes group allows the user to determine who may or may not make changes to the document. By default, only the user with the file may edit the workbook. However, the workbook or worksheet can be protected even if the file is shared with the Protect Sheet or Protect Workbook function. If the user decides that their worksheet or workbook must be protected they will select the applicable command, and an additional options window will launch.

    Users can specify whether others may view or edit various aspects of their document and create a password to protect the sheet. Only by entering the password can the user receive full editing access to the document.

    In addition to protecting their work, users may elect to share their workbook with others who have a OneDrive account for realtime document collaboration- allowing multiple users to work on a document at the same time. The user can even decide which parts of the document they are able to edit by selecting the Allowing Users to Edit Ranges icon. Finally, users can Track the Changes made to the document and also review changes that have been made using the Track Changes icon, which will launch a dialog box with more options. clipboard_ebc2ea0662e6d892e99d11042360d43bc.png Tracked Changes are helpful when working with others on a document and to be able to see the changes made (additions, deletions, formatting, etc) made by other users.

    Ink Group

    clipboard_ea241e0ab9ecf22f1b1e5bd9a0715487d.png

    Finally, users can draw with their mouse onto their document with the Ink Group. Users can draw on charts and images, and Hide all of their inkings as well. Using Inking can be helpful when making a presentation.
