Accepting or Rejecting Changes
When bringing a document in which others have noted their changes back together again, the
user can accept or reject the changes individually or all together.
• If one has put multiple copies of the document in circulation, first of all. merge these into
one document (see Merging Versions).
• Open the document and choose Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject. The Accept or
Reject Changes dialogue appears.
• Select a change on the List tab. The change is selected and displayed in the document and
now the users makes a decision with one of the dialogue buttons.
If one author has changed another author's change, one will see the changes hierarchically
arranged with a plus sign for opening up the hierarchy.
When the list of changes is too long or confusing, switch to the Filter tab in the dialogue and
specify only the changes of certain authors, or only the changes of the last day, or that the list
should be restricted in some other way.
Changes can also be filtered by the descriptions. Wildcards (as with regular expressions in
the Find & Replace dialogue) are permitted when entering the filter.
Text document changes that have not yet been accepted are displayed in the list. Changes that
have been accepted are removed from the list and appear in the text without any further
marking.
Spreadsheet changes that have been accepted are combined in the list in a single entry, so that
one can continue to see which changes have already been accepted.
colour-coded entries inform the user about the result of the filter that is set. Entries in black
can be accepted or rejected and match the filter criteria. Entries in blue do not, themselves,
match the filter criteria but have subentries that are included by the filter. Grayed entries
cannot be accepted or rejected and do not match the filter criterion. Green entries do match
the filter but in spite of this cannot be accepted or rejected.
