Question

Can changes to a FrameMaker document be tracked by date?

If there are changes to conditional text in FrameMaker, can they be tracked by author and date? The goal is to create a log of changes that my group can reference.

Thank you!

There's no native capability like that in FM. However, it may be possible to do something like that via a script that does (and logs) a document compare whenever the file is saved.

And it's not something that people often ask for here. My guess is that those who care already have their FM source files served out of a CMS, where you get such fine detail at no extra charge.

The reason I am asking is because the company I am working with would like to migrate to a FrameMaker authoring environment. However, this is one of their concerns before making that move.
