3.7 TRACKING CHANGES

              Tracking Changes in a LibreOffice document means keeping records of the changes made to the document. Example, A
              student creates a report and gives it to his teacher for review. Just as a teacher modifies a printed copy with a red pen,
              the teacher can make changes to a document using the Track Changes mode. This highlights the changes and makes it
              easier for students to identify and correct mistakes later.

              To start tracking changes, click on Edit → Track Changes → Record. To start tracking changes, you must first click Record
              as shown in the figure.
































              As soon as you click Record, the changes made to the document are recorded and displayed in a different colour.
              When you're ready to stop the process of tracking changes, click Record again.

              Tracking Options

              When the recording option is turned on, all changes are recorded. These are displayed in different colours. Deleted text
              is displayed with a strikethrough line (This text is deleted). There are many options in this Track Changes submenu. You
              can use the Next and Previous options to move from one change to another. When a change is selected, use the Approve
              and Deny options to approve or reject the change. If you accept, the changes in the document will be permanent, and
              if you reject any change, the original text will be restored.

              If you think all the changes are okay, use the Accept All command to accept all the changes in one go. If you do not
              want to accept any change and want to restore the original text, use the Deny All option.

              In some cases, you may want to see how the document will look like with all changes accepted, without actually accepting
              the changes. In that case, click the Show option to display the document as if the changes have been applied. Click Show
              again to see Document in track mode with the changes.
              You can also protect your changes by adding a password. Click on Protect. This will open the Enter Password dialog
              box as shown in the figure. Add the Password. Now only those who know this password can approve or reject the
              change.
