As tooltips appear within a second after hovering over track change text,
having it also included here is useful to users that normally do look at the
tooltip.

Yes i think this would be the most ideal and most visible, but we'd have to
distinguish track change comments from regular comments in some way, as
documents can have both.

Yes i see that MS Word shows it in these two views. The track changes sidebar
was recently implemented after also being suggested by Heiko in a design
meeting and Kendy pushed it in.
