How to force "Track Changes" to stay off for a particular file?

Every time I open a personal file (not shared, hence it is not necessary to track changes), I get blasted with the “Track Changes” mode, no matter how may times I turn it off. Previously, it was as simple as

  1. Turn “Track Changes” off from the status bar every time a file is opened

But since 8.3.3, that alone is not enough. It still shows me markups and balloons. Now, I must

  1. Go to the Collaborations tab
  2. Accept all changes
  3. Close the document
  4. Reopen the document.

The markups completely ruin the document pagination, so for certain types of documents, I need it to stay off. Is there any way to truly turn this feature off?

Hello @subhasiscgr

Please let me know if you are using Document Server in a ready-to-solution, e.g. Nextcloud, or in an integration with your own web-storage application.

Also, in your scenario:

How fast are you performing these steps?

It is a ready-to-go solution. I can confirm that this behaviour is present even in the “Example” server that comes with the default installation. I have observed that this behaviour is only visible on documents that have been imported from MS Word (and probably had “track changes” enabled). Documents created in OnlyOffice do not display this behaviour. Their “track changes” can be permanently disabled.

Also, I have tried loading these files in MS Office, disabling the “track changes” mode there, and importing them back into Onlyoffice. Track changes mode stays disabled for a while, then gets reenabled. Also, saving these files in MS Office increases file size by several times, so I do not wish to do that for all files.
