Manage track text edits in a document

Learn to manage track text edits in a document in FrameMaker.

Various options in the Track Text Edits menu or on the Track Text Edits toolbar help you manage text edits.

Choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Show Next to find the next change.
Choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Show Previous to find the previous change.
Choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Accept Edit to accept an individual text edit.
Choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Reject Edit to reject an individual text edit.
Choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Accept All to accept all text edits in one go.
Choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Reject All to reject all text edits in one go.

Once you accept a text insertion or deletion, that text edit becomes part of the file. If you accept an insertion of text, the inserted text is retained. If you accept a deletion of text, the deleted text is removed. If you reject an insertion of text, the inserted text is removed. If you reject a deletion of text, the deleted text is retained in the file. The inserted or retained text acquires the formatting of its surrounding text.

To filter edits by author or reviewer name, choose Edit > Track Text Edits > Show Reviewer Name > [user name].

After selecting the reviewer name, you can do the following operations:

Show Next/Previous: Displays changes made by the selected reviewer.
Accept/Reject All: Accept all changes or reject all changes made by the reviewer.

Note: To populate the reviewer names in a book or a DITA map, open the book or the DITA map, choose the desired scope and click Edit > Track Text Edits > Show Reviewer Name > Update User List. The reviewer names are automatically populated for a document.
