accepted.

Comments are inserted into a document to give opinion but cannot become part of
the main document. Track Changes allows suggestions to actually be accepted into
the main document

 One valid advantage of collaborative working is that distance and location are not a
problem as long as electronic methods of communication are available

because their thoughts and opinions can be applied to a document in real time
without the need of video conferencing or similar facilities
