This has nothing to do with software updates. "FM8_Track_Changes_added" is just the name of a condition. My guess is that it was inadvertently imported into one of your files from some other FM file. You can create an index of references (IOR) that includes condition tags to see if and where this one is used. But it may not actually be applied to anything. In that case, you'll just have to cycle through all the files in your book while the Conditional Text dialog is open. Assuming you want to get rid of it, when you find a file with that tag listed, select the tag, click Edit Condition Tag, and click Delete. Or get the Clean Import plug-in from electropubs.com and import conditions from a file that has only the ones you want. HTH! Richard Richard G.
