The "Suggesting" tool allows users to make suggestions in the form of comments in a document that other users can then respond to, accepting or rejecting the proposed changes.

How to "track changes" in Google Docs using the "Suggesting" feature

In Google Docs, you must have editing permission to be able to use the "Suggesting" feature. If the document is one you created, you will obviously already have the permission enabled. If the document was created by someone else, they need to ensure they have given you editing permission. They can do this by changing the permissions when they share the document with you via a link or email.

There are three ways to access the "Suggesting" functionality. The simplest is to highlight the text you want to comment on, then look for the pop-up menu that appears to the right of your text. If you click on the green pencil icon (the bottom of the two icons that appear), Google Docs will go from "Editing" mode to "Suggesting" mode.

Another box with a check mark in it will then appear, offering you the ability to "Add comment." Click this and you can comment on that area of text. You can simply comment, or you can @ mention other users if you need to by using their email address.
