Patrick,

Thanks for these examples - I think it would help if we all encoded exactly the same sample, so here is my suggestion (which is subject to your approval that I have interpreted your cases correctly)

1st Case

1. Original saved by 1st author
<text:p>This is the original paragraph, created with change tracking on so seen as an added paragraph.</text:p>

2. 2nd author changes text:
<text:p>This is the second version of the paragraph, created with change tracking on so seen as a modifed paragraph.</text:p>

Transferred back to 1st author, but that is not a further change.

2nd case

1. Original
<text:p>This is the original paragraph, created with change tracking on so seen as an added paragraph.</text:p>

2. 1st author changes text:
<text:p>This is the original paragraph, created with change tracking on so seen as an added paragraph, which is then modified.</text:p>

3. 1st author changes text again:
<text:p>This is the modified paragraph, created with change tracking on so seen as an added paragraph, which is further modified.</text:p>

Are these specific examples OK?

Yes, with the understanding that the second example should reflect a manual "save" event that fixes the text that is then subject to change tracked modification.

In other words, if in a single editing session, with no saves, I type:

Here is the incorrect text.

and seeing I have made a mistake I move the cursor and reform the text to read:

Here is the correct text.

There should be no change tracking recorded because I am in a single editing session.

Or did I succeed in making the use case less clear?

Thanks!

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick

Greetings!

Apologies for the slow posting!

The only additional requirement uncovered by the select committee is:

Nested change tracking, which the committee takes to mean, with change tracking on:

1st case: 1st author creates a text, saves it and transfers it to 2nd Author. The 2nd author makes changes. The 2nd author transfers the text back to the original author.

The 1st author makes changes to the changes made by the 2nd author.

2nd case: Author creates a text and saves it (not auto-save). After manual save, author makes changes to the text. After another manual save, the author makes changes to their changes. (The manual save was suggested as a session marker for engagement of change tracking.)

Advocates of change tracking proposals should post (email is fine) examples of how their proposals handle nested change tracking as illustrated by these two cases.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Patrick
