Let me correct myself. 'Merge Documents' and 'Protect Records' (this needs to
be renamed) are not related to 'Track Changes' but are related to 'Changes'.
According to ( https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Merge_Document ), merge
document "Imports changes made to copies of the same document into the original
document."

Well 'Next Change' and 'Previous Change' is also part of handling changes.

With change related items having their own separate section in the edit menu,
it is worth bringing the non-track change items out of the submenu and into the
main menu. This would look something like this.

- separator -
Protect Document
Track Changes >
 [...]
Merge Document
Compare Document
- separator -

Separate from this reason, other word processors use the word 'Track Changes'
in their menus. MS Word 2003 and WPS Writer have it in the Tools menu, while
iWork Pages has it in the Edit menu. So i think its a good idea to make it
easier for migrating users to find this specific wording in our menus.
