Bug ID: 167560
Summary: Toolbar's "Review" menubutton's Tracked Changes items
(Record, Show, Manage…) labels not explicit enough (in

Demonstration video
This is about the specific case of toolbar UI layout styles that use a "Review"
menubutton for tracked changes actions (such as the "Groupedbar Compact" style,
or "Tabbed compact" style), without the menubar.
As the attached video demonstrates, that toolbar's "Review" menubutton contains
a couple of action items that came from the traditional menubar's "Edit > Track
Changes" submenu, except that they are not in a submenu (a bit like bug
#132168) which means they are not semantically grouped, they are just single
words ("Record", "Show", "Manage…") that don't really make sense standalone in
the context of a menu only called "Review" that also has a bunch of
non-track-changes-related items.
In comparison, the "View" menu has the same Show action but named explicitly:
"Show Tracked Changes". So the string already exists there somewhere.
In the Review menubutton, I would recommend either grouping those actions into
a "Tracked Changes" submenu, or naming each of them explicitly:
--------------------------
* Record Changes (or something like that)
* Show Tracked Changes
* Manage Tracked Changes…
* Protect Track Changes
--------------------------
This affects various toolbars that use the "Review" menubutton; it affects the
big "Tabbed notebookbar" less because that one has dedicated buttons for those
actions, with tooltips on those buttons.
This was observed with:
