A user wants to track changes between two versions of a document to ensure edits have been applied correctly. What feature should be used?

Question

Options

• ADocument proofing history
• BVersion comparison in the proofing viewer
• CAudit log reports
• DExternal version control systems

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  84% (32)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

Version comparison in the proofing viewer (B) is correct because it is purpose-built for side-by-side or inline diff viewing of two document versions, letting users confirm that specific edits were applied as intended.

• A (Document proofing history) is a distractor - "proofing history" typically refers to spell/grammar check logs, not a tool for comparing document versions against each other.
• C (Audit log reports) track who made changes and when (access/permission events), not the content of those changes in a readable diff format.
• D (External version control systems) like Git can compare versions, but they are external tools - not a built-in document feature, making them the wrong answer in a context asking about native document functionality.

Memory tip: Think "proofing viewer = preview the proof" - just as a proofreader marks differences between a draft and a final copy, the proofing viewer shows the diff between two versions visually.
