My office version is Home and Student 2019, the document is marked as final without checking, read-only without checking, and there is no restriction on editing.The version is shown in the picture below.

There is another problem, the other computer I use is Office ProPlus 2019, the version is shown in the image below.I uploaded a word version of the article to a magazine's website, but the magazine replied, "The document should allow us to make annotations or revisions." We can't save the current version without any changes. But I didn't set a read-only mode, I didn't restrict editing during review, I didn't set a password. In this case, is the magazine society the same as my first question, or is there any other reason why he can't keep the traces of modification, I hope you can answer, and look forward to your reply as soon as possible!

    Hi,

    Where are the files saved? Is it a local or shared folder?

    Based on the error message, you can check the access permissions of the account to ensure that the account has the permission to delete, read, and write.
