Track Changes is a way to keep track of the changes you make to a document. You can activate change tracking for the current document by choosing Track Changes button located on the Author toolbar. When Track Changes is enabled, your modifications are highlighted using a distinctive color. The name of the author who is currently making changes and the colors can be customized from the Review preferences page.
or by clicking theChange Tracking in Author Mode
When hovering a change the tooltip will display information about the author and modification time.
If the selection in the Author contains track changes and you are copying it, the clipboard contains the selection with all the accepted changes. This filtering is performed only if the selection is not entirely inside a tracked change.
You can associate a note or a comment to a selected area of text content. Comments can highlight virtually any content from your document, except read-only text. The difference between such comments and change tracking is that a comment can be associated to an area of text without modifying or deleting the text.
The actions for managing comments are Add Comment..., Edit Comment..., Delete Comment... and Manage Comments... and are available on the Author Comments toolbar and on the Review submenu of the contextual menu of Author editor.
<?oxy_comment_start author="John Doe" timestamp="20090508T164459+0300" comment="Do not change this content"?> Important content <?oxy_comment_end?>
Comments are persistent highlights with a colored background. The background color is customizable or can be assigned automatically by the application. This behavior can be controlled from the Review options page.
