The Microsoft Word "Track Changes" feature lets users place notations in a document. With this editing feature, the document's deletions, additions and editorial notes appear on a marked-up draft. The editorial markings help a writer or student learn from past mistakes and revise according to a reviewer's advice, but at some point you'll likely want to work with a clean draft. You can change MS Word out of this editorial mode with a few clicks.
