Bug ID: 90401
Summary: Allow resetting or removing personal information
(author, date/time) on comments and changes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

There should be a simple way to reset or remove the metadata (about the author
and date/time) on comments and changes. By googling you can find a few
inquiries about this kind of functionality.
Currently (in Libo 4.4.2.2) there is an option to remove personal information
from a document:
"Options → LibreOffice → Security → Security Options and Warnings → Options...
→ Security Options → Remove personal information on saving"
However, this only affects the personal information on "File → Properties... →
General". Basically, I think the wording is misleading, because if there is
personal information incorporated as metadata in comments and changes, this
will not be removed.
In MS Word 2003 there is a similar option, but it also resets the metadata on
comments and changes:
"Tools → Options... → Security → Privacy options → Remove personal information
from file properties on save"
This option is also available in Word 2007/2013, although the procedure is a
little different:

It would be nice to have a little more nuanced choice in Libo that allowed you
to reset just the date and time information on comments and changes. Currently,
Libo isn't even on a par with Word in this respect.
