Importing Word Document Without Track Changes

Melissa C

Hello,

My Team wants to be able to import Word Document into Confluence - Without Track Changes. When we attempt to import documents we noticed that the Track Changes are imported as part of the page. (The Track Changes that were deleted)

Background: My Team writes their documents in Word because they need Track Changes to review documents. But they also want to be able to have documents available in Confluence.

Does anyone know how to import the Word Document "Final" (without Track Changes)?

Thank you - Melissa

Hi Melissa,

The tracked changes need to be removed in Word before the files are uploaded. Otherwise, you can turn track changes off before you upload but anyone can turn it back on and see the changes.

Please see: Turn off track changes

Thanks,

Ann

Ann,

We have been using Track Changes for years and pretty much experts at it!

We cannot accept all the Track Changes because the Documents are distributed with the Track Changes on so that those reviewing the documents can see the changes made.

I tried turning off the track changes, saving the document and importing, this did not work.

I also tried saving the document as Final and this also did not work.

Any other suggestions?

We are using Word Document 2010

The suggestions I found in Turn off track changes were:

To remove all comments at once, click a comment, and then on the Review tab, click the arrow below Delete, and click Delete All Comments in Document.

and:

Tip: Before you share the final version of your document, it’s a good idea to run Document Inspector. This tool checks for tracked changes and comments, hidden text, personal names in properties, and other information you might not want to share widely. To run Document Inspector, click File > Info > Check for Issues > Inspect Document.

We aren't using Comments at all!

And as I mentioned earlier - WE must keep the Track Changes in the Word Document.

Can this be submitted as a Bug to the developers?
