When change tracking is enabled, insertions are shown in LyX as
underlined blue and deletions are shown in a slightly lighter
shade of crossed-out blue. But in the PDF, insertions are in
blue, no underlining, and deletions are crossed-out red.

I’m on a second revision of a manuscript. I want to keep the
changes from the first revision and also view changes to the
second revision, but in different colors, both in LyX and PDF. I
see that I could make myself the second author, as that author
is set up for different colors. How do I do that? I see the
Identity item in Preferences but it doesn’t seem to have any
effect. And the docs seem a little shy on this topic, as far as
I can tell.

BTW the manual says that to get changes to appear in the output
one needs dvipost. Seems a little stale and no mention of PDF
which output seems to appear without adding any packages.

Hi Jerry,
<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, changes to the Identity in the Preferences work
only after a restart of LyX. And the different colors for
different identities you get in the work area this way, are not
visible in the PDF output. I don't think different colors for
different authors in the output are supported currently.

<p>The author is output with the command, so one can redefine \lyxadded or \lyxdeleted to do something with it. The default is just:</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">\DeclareRobustCommand{\lyxadded}[3]{{\color{lyxadded}{}#3}}</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">\DeclareRobustCommand{\lyxdeleted}[3]{{\color{lyxdeleted}\lyxsout{#3}}}</p>
<p><style type="text/css">
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }</style></p>
<p>and the LaTeX looks like:
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">\lyxadded{Richard Kimberly Heck}{Sat May 30 19:14:07 2020}{this is a change} </p>
