How change tracking is displayed

When Track Changes is turned on, each change is marked by default as follows in Story Editor (InDesign) or in Galley and Story views (InCopy):

The Track Changes section of the Preferences dialog box lets you choose a color to identify your changes. It also lets you select which
changes (adding, deleting, or moving text) you want tracked and the appearance of tracking.

Highlighted.

If you cut text from one document and paste it into another, it is displayed as deleted text in the document of its original location and as

added text in its new location.

Highlighted in the new location. The original text is unchanged.

A change bar is a vertical line that appears to the left of a line of text that has been changed. You can choose whether to show or

hide change bars as you work. You can also specify what color to use for displaying the change bars.

Show or hide changes

When changes are hidden, the text appears as it would with the change-tracking feature turned off. That is, added text is visible, deleted text is
invisible, and moved or pasted text appears where it has been inserted.

(InDesign) When change-tracking is turned on, editing is tracked regardless of whether you work in Story Editor or in the document layout. You
can view changes only in Story Editor, not in the layout.

(InCopy) When change-tracking is turned on, editing is tracked regardless of whether you work in Galley, Story, or Layout view. You can view
changes only in the Galley and Story views, not the Layout view.

In the Track Changes panel (InDesign) or the Track Changes toolbar (InCopy), click the Show/Hide Changes button

.

To disable change-tracking in only the current story, click the Disable Track Changes In Current Story icon

(InCopy) To disable tracking in all open stories in a multistory document, choose Changes > Disable Tracking In All Stories.

If you disable tracking, no further changes are tracked. Previously tracked changes are not affected.
