Enabling Track Changes

For documents that you create in Contributor, you can track changes and accept or reject those alterations individually. Each change is marked in a color (different colors for different users) and/or labeled in a sidebar.

When a Flare author sends you a review package file (FLTREV) and you edit the content files within it, your changes are automatically tracked so that the author can easily see the changes you made. You can not disable the track changes feature for these types of documents.

How to Enable the Track Changes Feature

Open the document that you created (not one you received for review).
Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
- Ribbon Select Review > Track Changes.
- Keyboard Shortcut Press CTRL+SHIFT+E.

Note The track changes setting is global. For example, let's say you have two topics open. With focus on topic A, you enable the track changes feature. If you bring focus to topic B, the track changes option is now also enabled for that topic. If you then open other topics after that point, the track changes feature will be enabled in those topics as well.

Note Tracked changes are visible only in the editor in Contributor. They are not visible when viewing any output created from the document (e.g., saving to HTM, XPS, or PDF files).
