LibreOffice Writer has a dialog for managing changes in the document that can be accessed in Edit - Track Changes - Manage. There's also a very handy Manage Changes sidebar that shows the same dialog, which makes it easy to navigate changes in the document. However, this sidebar is marked as an Experimental Feature. See: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/Sidebar.xcu?r=656ed2c6#245 IMO there's no need to keep this as experimental since it relies on a feature that is already available and functional in LibreOffice. So I propose to make this sidebar enabled by default.
Kendy, IIRC it was your work. What do you think?
Oh it it still works well even thought it was experimental for a long time, I'd be very happy to see it enabled of course! IIRC I've done the code so that it reuses the dialog's content as much as it can, so probably that effort has paid off :-)
So let's do it. Code pointer: officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/Sidebar.xcu: <node oor:name="SwManageChangesDeck"... <prop oor:name="IsExperimental" = true. This node can just be deleted.

This node can just be deleted. FYI: enabling the Manage Changes sidebar stops tracking of row deletion (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.3#Tracked_table_row_deletion.2Finsertion). Likely the recent unit tests won't catch the problem, because the problem raised by the first activation of the Manage Changes panel on the sidebar.

Don't understand why this happens since the sidebar deck copies the dialog more or less. But do you suggest to wait until the issue is fixed? If so, is there a schedule? Patch is submitted, waiting for the final keypress https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/129477
