Accept and reject changes
When changes have been made to a story, whether by you or by others, the change-tracking feature enables you to review all changes and
decide whether to incorporate them into the story. You can accept or reject single changes, only portions of a tracked change, or all changes at
once.
When you accept a change, it becomes a normal part of the text flow and is no longer highlighted as a change. When you reject a change, the text
reverts to how it was before the change was made.
1. In Story Editor (InDesign) or Galley or Story view (InCopy), position the insertion point at the beginning of the story.
2. In the Track Changes panel (InDesign) or the Track Changes toolbar (InCopy), click the Next Change button .
3. Do any of the following:
To accept the highlighted change and incorporate it into the text flow, click the Accept Change button .
To reject the change and revert to the original text, click the Reject Change button .
To accept or reject the highlighted change and go to the next change, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the Accept Change
or Reject Change button.
To move back to the previous change or skip over a change and go to the next one, click the Previous Change button or Next
Change button .
To accept or reject all changes without reviewing, click the Accept All Changes In Story button or the Reject All Changes In Story
button .
To accept or reject all changes in the story or in the document, or to accept or reject all changes by a certain participant, choose the
appropriate option from the Track Changes panel menu (InDesign) or from the Changes menu (InCopy).
If you change your mind about accepting or rejecting a change, you can undo the change by choosing Edit > Undo or pressing Ctrl+Z
(Windows) or Command+Z (Mac OS).
Choosing an Accept All Changes or Reject All Changes command also applies to hidden conditional text.

Preference settings let you control many tracking options. You can choose a color to identify your changes and select what changes you want
tracked: adding, deleting, or moving text. You can also set the appearance of each type of tracked change, and you can have changes identified
with colored change bars in the margins.
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Track Changes (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Track Changes (Mac OS).
2. Select each type of change that you want to track.
