changes, resolve conflicts, then save the merged document.
Preparing a Document for Review
The Track Changes feature is utilised when a document is distributed among one or more people for review or editing.
So, before distributing the document, ensure that any changes made are recorded. This ensures that, once the review
is completed, the original author of the document has an option to accept or reject the changes made. Author can
ensure that no user can stop the track changes feature by protecting the document using password.
To do this, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Create a new document in LibreOffice Writer.
Step 2: Select the Edit Track Changes Protect option from the Menu bar.
OR
Click the Protect Track Changes button in the Track Changes toolbar.
The Enter Password dialog box will appear.
Step 3: Enter the same password in Password and Confirm text box.
Step 4: Click on the OK button.
After the document has been protected with a password, any attempt by a user to
disable the Track Changes feature will prompt Writer to request the password.
Recording Changes
Once Track Changes is activated, reviewers can commence recording changes in the document. To do so, select the
Edit Track Changes Record option from the Menu bar, or you can also select the Record Track Changes
button from the Track Changes toolbar. Upon selecting the Record option, Track Changes becomes active. Now, the
modification done by the user is recorded in the document. Any deleted content will appear as strikethrough text,
while any added content will be displayed in a different colour, as shown in below figure.
