Using the Change Info Palette

When you make edits with track changes enabled, InCopy automatically remembers the user name, date, time, and type of edit that was made. This information stays with the file until the changes are accepted or rejected and makes it easy to determine who made which edits at what times. Consider this track changes information as your virtual paper trail, and you can stop printing three copies of every story.

Open the Change Info palette from the Window menu and choose Customize from the palette menu. Here you can control whether all the tracked information is displayed or only the user name. Also, remember that you can drag the Change Info palette to the top or bottom of your screen and convert it into a space-saving toolbar (Figure 5.4).
