Show suggestions, keep tickmarks while doing IC
Will Dias (CA)
The v. 4.1 release removed some very useful functions. I'd really love to see these return:
- Show highlighted suggestions instead of actual tickmarks - it was really handy and time-saving to be able to reject suggestions individually then click on "apply" to accept all others
- Keep mathematical tickmarks visible during IC check - made it possible to see if a number agrees but doesn't add correctly elsewhere (now needs to be done manually).

Thanks for your feedback WIll! Wanted to check in RE your first point, is it useful for you to be able to apply ticks on a page level, full doc level? Would it be better in your view to just improve the auto tickmarks or to bring back the semi-auto functionality and why?

Youssef Hounat: I use DS for proofreading, which means I just need to visually communicate to my teammates that I checked the math and IC and that it is/is not correct. I need to send them a PDF with the visible tickmarks on it for both math accuracy and IC.
If all sums are correct, it saves considerable time having to click only once to accept all. Also, I don't necessarily mark math errors as suggested by DS. E.g., if a sum is wrong in the middle of a table but that number adds correctly going forward, I'd rather do the math using the new (correct) sum, so further sums will show incorrect, i.e. will be marked individually, different from what DS is suggesting. This is our standard process for marking. Then, after right-clicking and changing those, I could (before v. 4.1) simply click "apply" and accept everything else.
Also, it would be great to have custom tickmarks apply when accepting all. Thanks!
