Example draft formatting

Here's an example of how you could show the changes you make to your chapters.

First Draft:
This is a new chapter. This is something that is not written well. Original content. This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph.

Second Draft:
This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph. This is a new chapter. This is something that is not written well. This is some new information (change it to a new color). Original content. This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph.


(notice that re-arranging sentences is the same as deleting and adding. You need to do this to let a person know that it changed.)


Third Draft: (if needed)
This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph. This is a chapter the second sentence of this paragraph. This is some new information (change it to a new color)Original content. Something else that is new.


Final draft:

This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph. This is a chapter. Original content. Something else that is new.


Summary
When you delete a word, sentence, or paragraph use the strikethrough format option (the ABC button)
When you add a word, sentence, or paragraph use a new color. Make sure it's a dark color but not too close to black. This color is too light. This color is too dark.
