Oxygen XML Editor lets you enter review
comments and track changes in your documents. The Review preferences control how the
Oxygen XML Editor review features work. To configure the Review
options, open the
Preferences dialog box and go to .
The available options are:
- Author - Specifies the name to be attached to all comments and to
changes made while Track Changes is active. By default, Oxygen XML Editor uses the system user name.
- Initial State - Specifies whether or not
Track Changes is enabled when you open a document. You may have
some opened documents in which track changes is enabled and others in which it is disabled.
You can choose between the following options:
- Stored in document - The current state of track changed is
stored in the document itself, meaning that track changes on or off depending on the
state the last time the document was saved. This is the recommended setting when
multiple authors work on the same set of documents as it will make it obvious to other
authors that changes have been made in the document.
- Always On - The Track Changes feature is
always on when you open a document. You can turn it off for an open document, but it
will be turned on for the next document you open.
- Always Off - The Track Changes feature
is always off when you open a document. You can turn it on for an open document, but it
will be turned off for the next document you open.
- Display changed lines marker - A changed line maker is a vertical
line on the left side of the editor window indicating where changes have been made in the
document. To hide the changed lines marker, deselect this option.
- Inserted content color - When Track Changes
option is on, the newly inserted content is highlighted with an insertion
marker, that uses a color to adjust the following display properties of the
inserted content: foreground, background, and underline. This section allows you to
customize the marker's color:
- Automatic - Oxygen XML Editor assigns a color to each user
who inserted content in the current document. The colors are picked from the
Colors for automatic assignment list, the priority being
established by the change (deletion, insertion, or comment) timestamp.
- Fixed - Uses the specified color for all insertion markers,
regardless of who the author is.
- Use same color for text foreground - Use the color defined
above (Automatic or Fixed) to render the
foreground of the inserted content.
- Use same color for background - Use the color defined above
(Automatic or Fixed) to render the
background of the inserted content. A slider control allows you to set the transparency
level of the marker's background.
- Deleted content color - When Track Changes
option is on, the deleted content is highlighted with a deletion marker, that
uses a color to adjust the following display properties of the deleted content: foreground,
background, and strikethrough. This section allows you to customize the marker's color:
- Automatic - Oxygen XML Editor assigns a color to each user
who deleted content in the current document. The colors are picked from the
Colors for automatic assignment list, the priority being
established by the change (deletion, insertion, or comment) timestamp.

regardless of who the author is.
- Use same color for text foreground - Use the color defined
above (Automatic or Fixed) to render the

level of the marker's background.

color of the text that is commented on. The options are:
- Automatic - Oxygen XML Editor assigns a color to each user
who added a comment in the current document. The colors are picked from the
Colors for automatic assignment list, the priority being
established by the change (deletion, insertion, or comment) timestamp.
