    Hi there LYOF!
     
    You can track changes in a Paper doc by clicking on Doc history and, for example, I can see my edits highlighted by a green color.
     
    For this reason, could you please specify what it is you’re seeing and, if this isn’t what you’re looking for, what you’d like instead?  
     
    Thanks in advance! :upside_down:

I can see the changes in the Doc History; but, how do I track changes I want the other party to see what changes I made on their article.. .

Changes can be viewed from Doc history by owners and editors (excluding those who can only comment from the permission settings). 
 
Furthermore, if the other user is following this Paper doc, they’ll receive an email notification with changes that have occurred.
 
You could also notify them of changes that occurred in the Paper doc manually by adding a comment. 
 
Hope this helped to some extent! :grinning:
