Explicit review example

This example keeps review decisions in the LaTeX source. It demonstrates a replacement, addition, removal, highlight, comment, author labels, stable IDs, and a compact change report.

Files

• texchanges-explicit-review.tex, the main document.
• texchanges.sty, upload this beside the main document when the selected Overleaf TeX Live version does not include Texchanges.

Try it on Overleaf

1. Create a blank project and upload the two files above.
2. Set texchanges-explicit-review.tex as the Main document.
3. Compile with pdfLaTeX.
4. Change \texchangesexamplemode to review, final, or original.

The same source produces three useful document states:
