[ Track Changes ]

Imagine a world where you are developing a process or standard, and you’re close to finished, and someone makes changes, but there’s no evidence of the change. There’s no indication that a change has been made. There’s no redline, there’s no vertical blackline in the margin, there’s no bubble callouts to explain the change.

I can’t, and don’t want to, imagine that world.

I use MSWord’s “Track Changes” functionality all the time. I also use the “Compare” function as well. It’s so very useful in identifying what changed between editions. (Version control:  that’s a different topic that needs attention too).
