Why aren't my Tracked Changes Showing in InDesign?

I have a large document that I am trying to track the changes on when I or someone else edits the document. "Enable tracking in all stories" is on, the eye is selected, the little power button is on, the screen mode is normal and not preview... what else can I do??

Hi,

There are some commercial plugins that do this.

We do this one.

This is by another plugin developer.

Track changes are only visible in Story Editor view. Click in the story, Edit > Edit in Story Editor.

Thank you... hopefully they update that feature. It shows there, but it's a nightmare to look at. Wishing there were a way to choose to see them in the document itself as well. It's so confusing to look at two windows.

I just encountered this as well. "Story editor" seems useless for several reasons. Despite the lack of layout, the performance is unusable. You can watch the screen redraw as you scroll one line. And where are the change bars? How do we get them into the layout if they don't show up in regular view?

Change Bars and track changes and many more editorial niceties is more the province of InCopy.
