We are trying Collabora in our team and one of the most important issues is with these buttons.
In general in documents with many changes it’s good to navigate with next/previous change or clicking directly in one change and then accept or reject that particular change.
Have buttons for accept/reject all is important, but I think it is necessary to have just accept or reject one.
It is possible to add those ones?
We have investigated but couldn’t find the way.
I have seen this tool, and I think it is a good start.
In my experience, you can navigate through the changes and accept them individually. However, if you click on one change on a page, the manager doesn’t move to this particular change; it would be very useful if it could do it. So you can have both possibilities: (1) navigate using the manager and (2) click directly in the document, and the manager can go to this particular change.
As I have seen it is possible to apply a particular change using the contextual menu; it is probably just a question of adding a pair of buttons with that command. This idea is because they are quite common in most of the WYSIWYG text processors. But the improvement of the manager can also be a good implementation.
Yes, I have a GitHub account. I can submit a Feature request.
Not sure if I understood the question.
In Liberoffice it works, and at least in the Collabora online version we have the manager also works.
I did a short video to illustrate the situation
You can find it in the following link (I can not attach files here yet):
The manager I think is ok because using it you can go change by change and accept or discard. However if you select a change in the text, the manager doesn’t point the change in its window.
So suppose the following case, that it is a common case in our team, a document with about 15 - 20 pages, edited by 4-6 persons. You will have changes everywhere, sometimes just correction of typos, or change in the sentences, add info etc.
Suppose that you are the person that have to check the changes in a specific paragraph in the page 3 and then in the page 10. In order to use the manager it is good to go to the page 3 click in the first change and then if the manager point to this change you can just continue using the manager, then go to the page 10 and do the same.
Right now you can navigate in the manager but it is not easy to identify changes in the page 3 or the page 10. So if it was possible to implement the possibility to click in the change in the text and the manager moves to this change, in my opinion would be very useful.
Not sure if I answered your question.
Let me know if you need more info.
@Tex
Thank you very much!
Sorry for the delay in the reply, I was traveling for Eastern and left the computer at home.
Hi, @cornouws we are working with the same version 23.05.9.4. Maybe it’s a specific configuration, I will ask the admin. We are learning about the different options.
