This is similar to the red triangle you see when you insert a comment in a cell.įor example, below I have a dummy project plan and I have made changes in column B (cell B4 and B6). Once you have enabled the tracking, whenever you or anybody who accesses the workbook makes any changes to it, it will get highlighted with a blue border and get a small blue triangle in the top left of the cell. If the file is already saved, it will still save it before enabling the tracking. If the file has not been saved, it will first ask you to save it before enabling the ‘Track Changes’ option.
