The main thing that I do, is to use change bars to show where changes
have been made.
You can also use conditional text.
However, we only have one or 2 writers working in Frame, so we do not
work in the same way that people using Word do.
We send our work out for comments to SMEs, either converted to Word
(using MIF2Go), or in commentable PDF files. So basically we use a
different workflow when using Frame, than people who only use Word.
