Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-09-07 20:09:10 UTC
As we reverted the change of bug 83953 in bug 90597, we need uno commands for 'Accept Change and Next' and 'Reject Change and Next'. We also need uno commands for 'Accept All Changes' and 'Reject All Changes' as these commands are available in the track changes dialog but dont have uno commands.
Comment 1 Heiko Tietze 2016-11-30 08:45:54 UTC
Jay, please double check with bug 83956. Better we have only one ticket regarding uno commands.

Hi Yousuf,
Should it be reported in a follow-up bug or are those the remaining pieces to close this issue?

Yes the addition of the two uno commands in comment 6 are what is remaining to close this bug.

Patch in gerrit: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/76719/

There are also two more commands in Word that we don't offer:
Accept/Reject all and stop tracking changes

Do we want to have such from UX POV?

We have Accept/Reject All and I don't see a reason for Stop. Or rather we have it with Record and Show.

I'm not sure you understood my wording, sorry. Let me try again.

Word has "Accept all changes and stop tracking" and "Reject all changes and stop tracking". I guess they provide it as one-stop "finish this change tracking nonsense quickly" commands.
Now that we have "Accept all changes" and "Reject all changes" it would be simple to combine them with turning off "Record changes" - to get equivalent commands to what Word has.

Is it okay to have such? Our users have not yet explicitly requested it (only accept / reject & move to next), but I'd wager they would start noticing the lack of "what they are used to".

Sounds like an overkill to me. MS bloats the UI just to avoid clicking two buttons. Wouldn't do that.
Comment 15 Heiko Tietze 2019-08-03 07:14:21 UTC
Shouldn't we better always jump to the next item? Why would anyone want to stay at the same item?

I must agree; this is also the default behavior of Word.

So: how about changing the toolbar to hide the Accept/Reject buttons and show Accept and jump / Reject and jump (once my patch + some new icons is merged) instead?
Targeting power users of 30 page & 200 change documents.

The missing commands requested from Jay should be implemented and they should be available somewhere in the UI in addition to the menu.

@Andreas Kainz, this might be added to the menubar (Edit > Track Changes ) as well as in Tabbed interface (Review)

That makes no sense. See the first comment from Heiko in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/76719/ 

These commands are for working quickly, and digging two levels into the main menu is not a good start for that.
