Tracking Changes in the Visual Compare/Merge

Changes to the following attributes can be tracked in the Visual Compare/Merge pane.

The options available in the Visual Compare/Merge Properties dialog depend on the Mode the user is currently in: for Design Mode, all options show; for Form Mode only those options for input cells and input paragraphs show; and, in Form Mode with Editing Enabled, although all choices show, shading displays only in the Visual Compare/Merge pane for those properties for which the user has security permissions.
