Hi, AB PIP STEM,
Thanks for jumping in, Andrew.
In Docs, tracked changes are called "suggested edits." Here's how to enable them:
Suggest changes to a file
- On your computer, open a document at docs.google.com.
- In the top right, if you don’t see "Suggesting," click Editing
Suggesting. If you don’t see this option, ask the file owner to let you suggest changes.
- In the top right, if you don’t see "Suggesting," click Editing
- Edit the document.
- You’ll see your change in a new color. Anything you delete will be crossed out.
- To add more detail, click your suggestion and type a comment. Then click Reply.
- The owner of the file will get an email about your suggestions and can decide whether to keep them.
Suggesting. If you don’t see this option, ask the file owner to ~Jo

Theresa, as long as you are the owner of the document, you can change your mode. Just click on the pencil icon at the right side of the action bar and select "Editing."

Anna, if you want to track your edits, switch the mode from "Editing" to "Suggesting." You will need to do this each time you refresh or reopen the document.
