Information to Change Tracking Feature

What is the change tracking feature? The track changes feature that is offered by the PerHtmlEditor Control allows users to keep track of or keep record of the changes that user has made when editing and modifying the content in the html editor. For instance, when you are deleting existing content from html editor, the track change feature will highlight the modified text in colored borders.

AcceptTrackChange: this tool is used to accept the last change that user has made.
RejectTrackChange: this tool is used to reject the change that user has selected.
AcceptAllTrackChanges: this tool is used to accept all the changes that user has made in the content area.
RejectAllTrackChanges: this tool is used to reject all the changes that user has made in editor content.
RejectAllTrackChanges: this tool is used to reject all the changes that user has made in editor content.
