Revision Marking Function
The revision marking function in Writer and Calc highlights changes to documents so that
whomever is editing the file can see who changed what and when.
Recording and Displaying Changes
When several authors are working on the same text or spreadsheet, the review function
(marking changes, redlining) makes it possible to document who made which changes, so
that this is clear to everyone. On the final edit of the document, it is then possible to look at
each individual change and decide whether it should be accepted or rejected.
For purposes of illustration, imagine having to deliver a report. Now, before publication, the
report must be read by the senior editor and the proofreader, and both will add their changes.
Perhaps the senior editor writes clarify after one paragraph and crosses out another entirely.
The proofreader checks the spelling of the document and notes two cases where explicit
references to the gender of an imaginary person could be reworded to avoid gender entirely.
The edited document comes back whereupon one can choose to incorporate or ignore the
suggestions of the two reviewers. Plus, you also e-mailed a copy of the report to a good
friend and colleague who has done research on a similar topic in the past, asking for a few
suggestions, and the document is now returned by e-mail with suggestions. It is now a
simple matter to produce a final version of the document from the results that are returned.
