<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="24" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>When you edit a document in which others have made changes, you can accept or reject the changes individually or all together.</p>
<ol class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="25" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>If you have put multiple copies of the document in circulation, first merge these into one document (see <help:embedded Id="67926" Eid="redlining_docmerge" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>).</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="26" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Open the document and choose <span class="T1">Edit - Changes - Accept or Reject</span>. The <span class="T1">Accept or Reject Changes</span> dialog appears.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="27" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Select a change on the <span class="T1">List</span> tab. The change is selected and displayed in the document and you can now enter your decision with one of the buttons.</p>

<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="28" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>If one author has modified another author's change, you will see the changes hierarchically arranged with a plus sign for opening up the hierarchy.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="29" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>If the list of changes is too long, you can switch to the <span class="T1">Filter</span> tab in the dialog and specify that you only want to see the changes of certain authors, or only the changes of the last day, or that you want the list to be restricted in some other way.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="42" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Color-coded entries display the result of the filter that is set. Entries in black can be accepted or rejected and match the filter criteria. Entries in blue do not themselves match the filter criteria, but have subentries that are included by the filter. Gray entries cannot be accepted or rejected and do not match the filter criterion. Green entries do match the filter but cannot be accepted or rejected.</p>
