Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-11-01 18:15:06 UTC 
Similar to bug 83958, it would be useful to enable the track changes toolbar when a user clicks the Edit > Changes > Record entry, as they would then not have to rely on the menu and context menu while they are adding these changes.

For me this seems reasonable and consistent.  Marked as New.

bug 90187 has fixed the issue that was intended here of easily being able to show and hide the track changes toolbar.

No track changes toolbar appear when I hit "Edit -> Track Changes -> Start Track Changes". This bug still exists in the most recent master and 5.3.

Am I missing something? Where is the uno command?
Comment 4 Kevin Suo 2017-01-18 04:57:14 UTC 
Remember that we also have track changes in Calc, so this bug should also apply to Calc.
Comment 5 Kevin Suo 2017-01-18 05:01:37 UTC 
Well, finally I find the track changes standard toolbar icon. 
But in my opinion LibreOffice should still pop up the track changes toolbar when start record.

Track changes toolbar isnt as important when you start recording, its more important when you are viewing a document from another user where you have to accept/reject track changes.
