That's wrong, at least for v7.3.7.


Try Edit > Track Changes > Manage


A dialogue pops up with a list of all changes since recording started.

One can click through the list to highlight individual changes, and 
Accept or Reject them.


It's pretty nice.

It works in this version (since about version 4.0 in 2013), but the link 
you found has (currently) invalid info.

As of February, they're going with the year.month format, which is kinda 
nice, once one knows what's going on.
