Industry term.
Track Changes in Microsoft Word used to keep track of the changes you make
to a document.
You can then choose to accept or reject those changes.Let's say Bill creates
a document and emails it to his colleague, Gus, for feedback. Gus can edit
the document with Track Changes on. When Gus sends the document back to
Bill, Bill can see what changes Gus had made.
Track Changes is also known as redline, or redlining.
This is because some industries traditionally draw a vertical red line in
the margin to show that some text has changed.
It is easier if you have complete control of the editor being used to make
the changes. so you can keep track of the changes as they are entered.
record them and mark their position.
Otherwise you need to go through analysis to see what has changed.

We have a web application that has a lot of large textareas for data
collection. We need to track who makes changes, when and what changes
were made. Right now I'm storing the entire text in a separate SQL
table
before the changes are saved. Needless to say this table is growing
quite large and is beginning to cause performance problems.
A lot of the changes are small, like capitalization or punctuation. Is
there anything that is available that somehow calculates just the
change that occurs? It's kind of hard to explain, but I want to store
only the modifications. But I also need to rebuild the previous
document if necessary.
I know something has to exist but I can't even think of a term to
search for.
Any guidance would be great,
