How can you share a OneDrive document in revision mode?
When you share a document from SharePoint or OneDrive, you can set adjustments to be highlighted. This is a useful feature to ensure that you have an easily traceable way to see third-party modifications on a document you make available. This is useful, for example, if you want to share a document with a group of people and want to know who modified what.
To share a document in revision mode, you can follow the following steps:
- Go to the location where the document is saved, for example in SharePoint or OneDrive.
- Right-click on the document and choose "Share" or "Share" (depending on your language preference).
- Enter the e-mail addresses of the people you want to share the document with, separated by commas, in the "Participants" text box.
- Make sure the check mark next to "Adjustments highlighted" is checked. This ensures that adjustments are highlighted when someone edits the document.
- Optionally, add a message in the "Message" text box if you want participants to know why you are sharing the document and what you expect of them.
- Click "Share" or "Share now" (depending on your language preference) to share the document.
The people you shared the document with will receive an email with a link to the document. When they open the document, they will see that modifications are highlighted so they can easily see what has been modified. This is a convenient way to see what has been modified on the document and to keep track of what has been changed.
