Having “Mark Revised” in the right-click menu would not only speed up my workflow, it would be a great workaround for the **lack of revisions** in the iOS version. There are several hacks to mark your revisions in iOS, like Styles and Character Format. But back in OSX or Windows, I always convert it to a revision color. Speeding this up would make my iOS version truly useful! ---

I use preserve formatting with a shortcut assigned to it, if it is of any help. (Under Windows I can pick the color of my choice for the background.) No conflict with any styles or character attributes in the text. Downside is you have to remove it before a compile. ---

Thanks for the reply. I probably should have stated my issue better. I always track my edits with the Revision Mode feature, which iOS doesn’t support. I’m looking for a good workaround to mark my imported iOS edits to the current revision level. Does preserve formatting help with that? ---

Preserve formatting hijack : ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/4/a49c589458b8a510cf550f5858d182e94cb06452.png) Else, I am not 100% sure, but I believe that if you make your text of the exact same color as a revision color, it will be seen as revised text by Scrivener, back in an install that has the revision feature. ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/d/dd14367bb880e98458253de2c358697162e7be3d.png) I removed the revisions : ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/d/2da49d13c8816a5a4784342662bac3725e7c54a3.png) Again, but with a random font color for the first line this time : ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/9/09beb9c4434da75ec72232139cbe78214dc81ac2.png) I removed the revisions : ![image](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/c/cc25393500f036debf6b9a63a93c6e4ca7c46b22.png) Conclusion : It works, under the Windows version. Using the exact same font color as a revision color makes Scrivener see that text as revised text. Perhaps it’ll work for you too. . . . . . . . . . . Just to be clear, I use preserve formatting mostly to track revision progress. In a more general way than using the revision color to mark edits would. My usage is very minimalistic in this case. I just track what I’ve revised, not edits. It is exactly like selecting a whole paragraph and then `Mark Revised`. ---

On Mac, you can [assign a shortcut](https://scrivener.tenderapp.com/help/kb/macos/assigning-or-changing-keyboard-shortcuts) to the Mark Revised command via system settings; you can also assign one to the current revision level you’re using, if you’re frequently in and out of that when you’re typing. Windows has the option to set a shortcut for the revision level in the Keyboard tab of `File ▸ Settings`, but unfortunately Mark Revised isn’t currently available there. However, the accelerator keystrokes Alt, R, R, M will toggle it quickly. ---

Thank you, MimeticMouton! Once I took the time to carefully read the instructions you linked, this worked like a charm.
