Backstage view in Microsoft Word

Word Backstage can be translated as “behind the scenes”. If you compare the main stage of Word with the stage, then the Backstage view is everything that happens behind it. For example, the Ribbon allows you to work only with the contents of the document, and the Backstage view only allows you to work with the file as a whole: saving and opening the document, printing, exporting, changing properties, sharing, etc. In this lesson, we will get acquainted with the tabs and commands that make up the Backstage view.
