Keep Tracking of Deleted Characters

When Track Changes is disabled and you delete content character by character, the following cases are possible:

• Deleting content in an existing Delete change - nothing happens.
• Deleting content in an existing Insert change - the content is deleted without being marked as a deletion and the INSERT change shrinks accordingly.
• Deleting in regular content - regular deletion.

When Track Changes is enabled and you delete content character by character, the following cases are possible:

• Deleting content in an existing Delete change:
  • If the same author created the Delete change, the previous change is marked as deleted by the current author.
  • If another author created the Delete change, nothing happens.

• Deleting content in an existing Insert change:
  • If the same author created the Insert change, the content is deleted and the Insert change shrinks accordingly.
  • If another author created the Insert change, the Insert change is split in two and the deleted content appears marked as a Delete change by the current author.

• Deleting in regular content - the content is marked as Delete change by the current author.
