Summary

Catch Up allows you to stay in sync with your collaborators in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by showing you the latest comment activity that is directed at you and a summary of recent changes. Based on your feedback, we made improvements to the Catch Up feature. The comment activity directed at you will now persist in Catch Up between sessions for up to 28 days. New items will be indicated with a blue dot for clarity. You can also dismiss items individually if you do not wish to keep them in Catch Up.
