\begin{quote}
You recently submitted your first manuscript for publication, and you
were pleased when the editor decided to send the manuscript out for peer
review. Now you have gotten the reviews back, and the editor has asked
you to revise your manuscript in light of the reviewers' comments. How
should you tackle this task?
\end{quote}

The comprehensive guide by~\citet{Noble_2017} "\textbf{Ten simple rules
for writing a response to reviewers}" gives you some concrete tips to
organize and write a compelling letter for reviewers addressing their
comments.

\par\null

Rule 6 states:~

\par\null

\begin{quote}
\textbf{Use typography to help the reviewer navigate your response}:

Use changes of typeface, color, and indenting to discriminate between 3
different elements: the review itself, your responses to the review, and
changes that you have made to the manuscript.
\end{quote}

If you are writing your manuscript in Authorea, you can now very easily
produce~\textbf{a changelog} of your manuscript (the changes you have
made to the manuscript) which you can export as PDF and include in your
response to reviewers.~

\section*{How to produce a log of changes (or
diff)}

{\label{912752}}

\begin{enumerate}
\tightlist
\item
  First off, perform all the necessary edits to your manuscript. When
  you want to visualize and produce a changelog, click on
  \textbf{Document -\textgreater{} History}.~~
\item
  Navigate the history and select the date that you want compare your
  document to. For example, if you sent your manuscript out to peer
  review on November 18, find and select in the history sidebar the last
  version on or prior to November 18. See Figure 1.~
\item
  The document view of the Authorea article will become the changelog,
  showing additions (in light beige color) and deletions (in red
  strikethrough) that have happened between November 18 (submitted
  version) and today (revised version). See Figure 2.~
\item
  If you want to print or save the changelog so that you can include it
  in your response to reviewers (Figure 3), select the date and click
  on~\textbf{Save/Print changes}
