Hello Shafie, Thank you for your reply.
I was hoping to see if there are any "add-ons" to XXE that may make the review mode more effective. Are you aware of any? On the other hand, I did get to check out XXE Pro edition. There is an option available to insert a comment. This works well for the reviewer who usually enters additional inputs or comments. However, the author who updates these inputs also needs to "highlight" this updated portion, so that the reviewer does not spend time checking through the entire document during the following iteration. For this I felt selecting the updated portion and choosing a element like "remark" can render the text in a different color. But the problem is that this can't be changed back to "para" element. Do you have any pointers on how this can be done? I hope i have been clear in explaining the query. Let me know if you need any further clarifications.

We don't have this feature and, to my knowledge, Syntext Serna has it. They call it "redlining". > 2. Creating templates with ease. Yes.
