Clean-up LaTeX Track Changes

Remove TrackChanges

If you have track change commands from the TrackChanges package (not the changes package), the commands can be removed by:

1. Copy the entire Overleaf (or latex) folder to PythonPackge under trackchanges folder. For the command above to work, copy entire latex folder under /trackchanges-0.7.0/PythonPackage/ folder. Confirm you have acceptchanges.py in a folder above your latex files.
2. Run Terminal and activate python v 2.7. Note that acceptchanges.py works only with python v2.7.
3. Compile main tex file and make pdf to keep an original tracked version in PDF file.
4. Rename all the tex files to be cleaned up. acceptchanges.py does not automatically deal with \input{} or \include{} files. So I have to process with acceptchanges.py all associated files individually.
