Bug ID: 160497
Summary: FR: Print (or export) only tracked changes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Microsoft Word, it is possible to print a list of tracked changes only,
without the rest of the document. See the first point of this blog post, which
gives a screenshot:

If there are many changes to a long document, this can help a reviewer quickly
see the edit history: who edited what, and when. Please consider implementing
something similar in Writer.
It would be really awesome if the output was to an ods file (or something else
import-able into Calc), with each edit on a separate line, with columns for
"Author", "Edit Time", "Changed Text","Added/Deleted" (i.e, what happened to
the "Changed Text"), and whatever the best positional information available is
(e.g., character position). That way one could then sort to see the most
salient information: changes in chronological order, changes by a particular
person, changes in document order, etc. That would I suppose have to be some
sort of export, rather than part of the printing functionality.
If you were doing it as a print output, there is similar functionality of
"print comments only" in the "LibreOffice" tab of the print dialog, so if that
were the method you choose (i.e., print rather than export), a
checkbox/dropdown there ("print changes only") would seem most logical UI.
