One of the great many features of Q4 PRESS is the ability to easily view and merge document changes from multiple people through a simple interface.  As an Author, you have the ability to view all the pending document feedback in your task list.

After you have completed working with a Reviewers changes by clicking “I’m finished with this item” you can still go back and view the Reviewers notes or edits.  The default view is to show only unhandled edits and feedback when you are viewing a document:

You’ll notice there is a ’show removed’ check-box at the bottom of your task list.  If you want to check a previous edit or comment from a Reviewer, simply click that check-box and you’ll see all edits and comments for the current phase:

The green check-mark on the item in your task list shows that you’ve already finished working with those changes but you still have access to view those previous changes and can incorporate them into your document.

When working with Word documents there is a formatting trick that is sometimes used to mimic what looks like a table. Instead of creating a table and putting content into two separate cells you can use tabs to push words to the right or left and give the content the look of being in a table.

The problem with this is when imported into Q4 Press the tabs are lost due to the word document being converted to HTML which doesn’t have any way to display a “tab”. Read the complete Post.
