Change Tracking Overview
The change tracking feature in Arbortext Editor tracks text and markup changes made to a baseline document. Arbortext Editor records changes made to text and markup by one or more authors as proposed changes to the document. You can review proposed changes to the document and accept or reject them. Any changes you accept become part of the baseline document.
You can enable and disable change tracking by choosing:
• > > .
• > > . In the
Change Tracking window, enable change tracking by checking
Track Changes.
You can have the
Change Tracking window open automatically when change tracking is enabled. While it is open, click
Advanced to open
Advanced Change Tracking Options. Check the box for
Open the change tracking dialog box automatically.
Change tracking stays on for a particular document until you turn it off, even when the document is saved, closed, and reopened by you or by another author. The document can also be printed or published with the proposed changes. Keep change tracking turned on until you have accepted or rejected all of the proposed changes in a document.

Do not perform a completeness check on a document with change tracking turned on, until you accept or reject all the proposed changes in the document. Doing a completeness check before accepting or rejecting changes could make your document become out of context.

Arbortext Editor adds change tracking markup to a file with tracked changes when it is saved. If you have accepted or rejected all changes and do not want any change tracking markup to be saved with the file, set the global set option set changetrackingkeepdict to off. Refer to set changetrackingkeepdict in the Arbortext Command Language Reference PDF for more information.
Some types of changes cannot be tracked; refer to
Limitations of Change Tracking for information.
