Review

To open the Author Review preferences page, go toOptions > Preferences > Editor > Edit modes > Author > Review.

The available preferences are:

• Author - The name of the user who performs the changes when Track Changes is active for a given editor. This information is associated with each performed change;
• Track Changes (applies for all authors):
• Initial State - Controls the initial Track Changes state;
  • Stored in document - Recommended when multiple editors work on the same set of documents because the state of Track Changes (enabled/disabled) is kept in the edited document. When you open such a document and the Store in document option is active, if the <?oxy_options track_changes="on"?> processing instruction was saved in the document, the Track Changes is enabled. When this option is enabled and you open a document in the Author mode, the Track Changes state is restored from the previous use of the document. This means that if another user edited the document with Track Changes turned on before sending it to you, you will also have Track Changes switched on when you open it in the Author mode;
  • Always On - The Track Changes feature is active when you open a document;
  • Always Off - The Track Changes feature is inactive when you open a document;
  Note: Initial Track Changes State options do not affect documents already open in the Author mode.

  • Auto - Automatically assigns colors for the insert changes for each author name. Enabled by default;
  • Custom - Uses a custom color for all insert changes, regardless of the author name;
  • Use same color for text foreground - Uses the same color to paint the inserted text foreground
  • Use same color for background - Uses the same color for the insert text background. Use the slider to adjust the transparency level;
• Deleted content color - Sets the color used for marking the deleted content. This includes the font foreground and background, and the strike-through that decorates all deleted text:
  • Auto - Automatically assigns colors for the delete changes for each author name. Enabled by default;
  • Custom - Uses a custom color for all delete changes, regardless of the author name;
  • Use same color for text foreground - Uses the same color to paint the deleted text foreground;
