How to Track the Total Number of Changes Made in an InDesign Galley

Hi, is there any way to get (or anyplace that shows) the total number of changes/corrections made in an InDesign galley? (with Track Changes on, of course)

Hopefully it will work:

 

 

var total = 0;
for (var a=0;a<app.activeDocument.stories.length;a++)
{
   total += app.activeDocument.stories[a].changes.count();
};
alert(total);

Thanks! I'm afraid I'm not too (at all?) knowledgable about coding and such; where would I enter this in InDesign?
