Keeping Track of Deleted Content

When Track changes is disabled and you delete selected content, the following is possible:

• If the selection contains an entire Delete change, the change disappears and the content is deleted.
• If the selection intersects with a Delete change (starts or ends in one), it results in nothing happening.
• If the selection contains an entire Insert change, the change disappears and the content is deleted.
• If the selection intersects with an Insert change (starts or ends in one), the Insert change is shrunk and the content is deleted.

When Track changes is enabled and you delete selected content, the following is possible:

• If the selection contains an entire Delete change, the change is considered as rejected and then marked as deleted by the current author, along with the other selected content.
• If the selection intersects a Delete change (starts or ends in one), the change is considered as rejected and marked as deleted by the current author, along with the other selected content.
• If the selection contains an entire Insert change, the following is possible:
  • If the Insert is made by the same author, the change disappears and the content is deleted.
  • If the Insert is made by another author, the change is considered as accepted and then marked as deleted by the current author, along with the other selected content.
• If the selection intersects an Insert change (starts or ends in one), the Insert change shrinks and the part of the Insert change that intersects with the selection is deleted.
