Please attach two documents ("source" & "edited") that show this behavior.
I tried, but could not reproduce it.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the documents.

Hello
Sorry for the trouble
I could not reproduce this problem. LO seems to function well in comparing documents. Maybe it was some problem with shifting back and forth from doc to odt. I there any  way to delete the file i have loaded?

Aha, you mean you did not mean to share the file publicly? I have to ask the infra team to delete it.
