When the user opens such a document (for the first time?) we turn on change tracking. Important is to not save the current state of change tracking.
I do like this idea. If I understand correctly: Have a new checkbox in document settings labelled "Open with change tracking enabled". Then the current state of change tracking is made independent from this checkbox; only, if the box is checked then it will do as advertised by the label. Otherwise, the per-user, per-session setting is restored. This seems to fit better than the current situation what I understand of Pavel and other people's use case for change tracking. Indeed, even in this case, one could want to disable it on purpose momentarily, and this new setting would mean that one does not need to worry about turning change tracking back on before saving. Pavel, is this what you had in mind with "permanent vs. until the end of the session" ? Actually we could also treat \output_changes in this way, which makes even more sense for it given that it affects the output. Is that convincing? Guillaume
