feature request: change tracking

N

not_a_commie

This feature was requested once in 2004 without much attention. Now
that people are more familiar with this feature in MSWord I'd like to
rerequest that change tracking be added to OneNote.

Essentially, I would like these capabilities:
1. Note what was changed
2. Note who changed it
3. Note when it was changed
4. Allow a comment with the change
5. Support the ability to revert to some earlier revision
6. Support a diff of various revisions
7. Allow comments about text blocks without change similar to the way
MSWord does

We're working on something that I think would help with your scenarios,
although it is unlikely that anything that OneNote does will be as
full-featured as the track changes features in Word (and you should
probably consider using Word instead if you need that level of change
tracking). If you have any specific feature requests, you can also post
them on http://connect.microsoft.com/onenote to make sure they get
routed through the right channels.
In the meantime, you can right-click a block of text to see who last
changed it, and when it was changed.
