Excel allows you to easily track revisions made to your workbooks. At some time you will want to resolve your changes to get rid of the revision marks. This is typically done as you are finalizing a workbook, after you are sure that the changes are something you really want to keep. Excel allows you to automate much of the resolution process.
Figure 1. The Select Changes to Accept or Reject dialog box.
You will notice that when you are finished reviewing changes, Excel still shows edited cells with the tracking changes indicator (the blue triangle in the upper-left corner). The only way to get rid of these (after you have reviewed all the changes) is to turn off the revision marking.
