Track Changes Guide

Overview

Track Changes in OpenXML uses revision markup elements to record insertions, deletions, and formatting changes. Each revision has a unique ID, author, and timestamp.

Insertion: `<w:ins>`

Wraps runs that were inserted during tracking:

<w:ins w:id="1" w:author="John Smith" w:date="2026-03-21T10:30:00Z">
  <w:r>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri" />
      <w:sz w:val="22" />
    </w:rPr>
    <w:t>This text was inserted.</w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:ins>

w:id — unique revision ID (integer, must be unique across document)
w:author — free text string identifying the author
w:date — ISO 8601 format with timezone: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
Content inside is normal runs (w:r) with optional formatting

Deletion: `<w:del>`

Wraps runs that were deleted during tracking:

<w:del w:id="2" w:author="John Smith" w:date="2026-03-21T10:31:00Z">
  <w:r>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri" />
      <w:sz w:val="22" />
    </w:rPr>
    <w:delText xml:space="preserve">This text was deleted.</w:delText>
  </w:r>
</w:del>

CRITICAL: Inside <w:del>, text MUST use <w:delText>, NOT <w:t>. Using <w:t> inside a deletion is invalid and will cause corruption or unexpected behavior. Word may silently repair it, but other consumers will fail.

Formatting Change: `<w:rPrChange>`

Records that a run's formatting was changed. Placed inside w:rPr, it stores the previous formatting:

<w:r>
  <w:rPr>
    <w:b />  <!-- Current: bold -->
    <w:rPrChange w:id="3" w:author="Jane Doe" w:date="2026-03-21T11:00:00Z">
      <w:rPr>
        <!-- Previous: not bold (empty rPr means no formatting) -->
      </w:rPr>
    </w:rPrChange>
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>This text was made bold.</w:t>
</w:r>

The outer w:rPr holds the new (current) formatting. The w:rPrChange child holds the old (previous) formatting.

Paragraph Property Change: `<w:pPrChange>`

Records paragraph-level formatting changes (alignment, spacing, style):

<w:pPr>
  <w:jc w:val="center" />  <!-- Current: centered -->
  <w:pPrChange w:id="4" w:author="Jane Doe" w:date="2026-03-21T11:05:00Z">
    <w:pPr>
      <w:jc w:val="left" />  <!-- Previous: left-aligned -->
    </w:pPr>
  </w:pPrChange>
</w:pPr>

Revision ID Management

Every revision element (w:ins, w:del, w:rPrChange, w:pPrChange, w:tblPrChange, etc.) requires a w:id attribute
IDs must be unique integers across the entire document
IDs should be monotonically increasing (not strictly required, but expected by Word)
When adding revisions, scan for the current maximum w:id and increment from there

Existing max ID: 47
New insertion: w:id="48"
New deletion: w:id="49"

Author and Date

Author: Free text. Use consistent strings (e.g., "MiniMaxAI" for all automated edits)
Date: ISO 8601 with UTC timezone marker: 2026-03-21T10:30:00Z
- Must include the T separator and Z suffix (or +HH:MM offset)
- Omitting the date is allowed but not recommended

Operations

Propose Insertion

Add <w:ins> wrapper around new content at the target location:

<w:p>
  <w:r><w:t>Existing text. </w:t></w:r>
  <w:ins w:id="5" w:author="MiniMaxAI" w:date="2026-03-21T12:00:00Z">
    <w:r><w:t>Proposed new text. </w:t></w:r>
  </w:ins>
  <w:r><w:t>More existing text.</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>

Propose Deletion

Wrap existing content in <w:del> and change <w:t> to <w:delText>:

<w:p>
  <w:r><w:t>Keep this. </w:t></w:r>
  <w:del w:id="6" w:author="MiniMaxAI" w:date="2026-03-21T12:01:00Z">
    <w:r>
      <w:rPr><w:b /></w:rPr>
      <w:delText>Remove this.</w:delText>
    </w:r>
  </w:del>
  <w:r><w:t> Keep this too.</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>

Accept a Tracked Change

Accept insertion: Remove the <w:ins> wrapper, keep the inner runs as normal content
Accept deletion: Remove the entire <w:del> element and its content

Reject a Tracked Change

Reject insertion: Remove the entire <w:ins> element and its content
Reject deletion: Remove the <w:del> wrapper, change <w:delText> back to <w:t>

Cross-Paragraph Operations

Deleting a Paragraph Break (Merging Paragraphs)

When tracked deletion spans a paragraph boundary, use <w:pPrChange> on the merged paragraph:

<w:p>
  <w:pPr>
    <w:pPrChange w:id="7" w:author="MiniMaxAI" w:date="2026-03-21T12:05:00Z">
      <w:pPr>
        <w:pStyle w:val="Normal" />
      </w:pPr>
    </w:pPrChange>
  </w:pPr>
  <w:r><w:t>First paragraph text. </w:t></w:r>
  <w:del w:id="8" w:author="MiniMaxAI" w:date="2026-03-21T12:05:00Z">
    <w:r><w:delText> </w:delText></w:r>
  </w:del>
  <w:r><w:t>Second paragraph text (now merged).</w:t></w:r>
</w:p>

Inserting a New Paragraph

The entire new paragraph is wrapped in <w:ins>:

<w:p>
  <w:pPr>
    <w:rPr>
      <w:ins w:id="9" w:author="MiniMaxAI" w:date="2026-03-21T12:10:00Z" />
    </w:rPr>
  </w:pPr>
  <w:ins w:id="10" w:author="MiniMaxAI" w:date="2026-03-21T12:10:00Z">
    <w:r><w:t>Entirely new paragraph.</w:t></w:r>
  </w:ins>
</w:p>

The paragraph mark itself is marked as inserted via w:ins inside w:pPr > w:rPr.
