What is the effect of accepting all changes in a document?

• A. All tracked changes are accepted, finalizing the edits.
• B. All changes are marked as comments.
• C. All changes are rejected.
• D. The document is saved.

Answer: (B)

Accepting all changes finalizes the edits by applying every tracked edit to the text and removing the review marks. When Track Changes is on, Word shows insertions, deletions, and formatting as markup. Choosing to accept all changes incorporates those edits into the document so the final version contains the edits and no longer displays the tracked-change markup. This is different from converting edits into comments, which would keep notes about edits rather than applying them. Saving the document is a separate action and doesn’t by itself apply or remove tracked changes.
