Merops: Reviewing tab

Show Markup

Use this group of checkboxes to show or hide Comments, Insertions/Deletions, and Format Changes. We recommend you spend most time reviewing documents with comments, and insertions/deletions shown, but format changes hidden.

Tracked changes

Reject button

Reject Rejects the insertion, deletion, replacement, or format change at the cursor. You can click the arrow at the bottom of the button, to show a menu including Reject Identical Changes.

Accept button

Accept Accepts the insertion, deletion, replacement, or format change at the cursor. You can click the arrow at the bottom of the button, to show a menu including Accept Identical Changes. NB: As a general rule, you don't need to accept changes as you go, just reject the ones you don't want, then accept all remaining changes at the end.

Previous button Next button

Previous and Next Jump to the previous or next tracked change.

Revert Selection Rejects all revisions and deletes all comments within the selection. Use this whenever Merops makes a number of errors in the same place, perhaps because a paragraph has been misidentified.

Comments

Quick Comments button

Quick Comments Clicking the top part of this button simply inserts a comment into the document. Clicking the arrow at the bottom shows a menu of Quick Comments.

Delete Comment button

Delete Comment Deletes the comment at the cursor. Click the arrow at the bottom to show a menu, including Delete Identical Comments, which can be useful if say, Merops has alerted the same unknown word several times, or Delete Identical Comments on Any Text, to delete say, all unmatched-word comments.
