Move from Word Track Changes

Migration•4 min read|||

Use this migration path when your team still reviews docs through exported Word files.

What changes in your process

  • Stop exporting docs for review rounds.
  • Keep review in the pull request lifecycle.
  • Use DraftView to make edits and comments in context.
  • Push final feedback to GitHub as suggestions.

Suggested rollout

  1. Pick one recurring docs workflow.
  2. Route that workflow through DraftView review and sign-off.
  3. Use external links for reviewers who are not in GitHub.
  4. Retire Word-based review for that workflow.

Benefits after migration

  • Fewer copy and paste errors
  • Clear lifecycle state per PR
  • Consistent audit trail for sign-off
