Show Changes Panel

The Show Changes panel lets you track and approve changes. You can display this panel by clicking Show Changes on the Home tab.

Here is a short description of the major features of this panel:

  • When you are revising a topic, those changes are captured in the Show Changes panel. Changes by different users are displayed in different colors.
  • You can sort the list of changes by author, position, or date.
  • This feature does not track structure changes; it tracks only changes to the content.
  • When you click on a change in the Show Changes panel, Content Editor identifies the content associated with that change.
  • Changes are displayed only for content in elements that still exist in the topic. If you delete an element entirely, the change history for the deleted element no longer appears in this panel.
  • You can close the panel by clicking on the small X.
