When collaborating on documents I find track changes invaluable. However, only
small changes may result in a huge list when viewing track changes, quite
difficult to overview. 

Often changes are of the kind: refrase how we talk about xx in the text, or use
this term instead of that. If the person doing changes could group the tracked
activity depending on what she is doing, it would be much easier for another
person to accept / deny changes.

Examples:
You want to change England to Britain in your text, create a group called
"England to Britain", do all your changes. Next you want to do a general
spellcheck and you create "Spellcheck" and assign all changes to that. Third you
want to split a couple of paragraphs and recombine them into a new one, you can
assign those changes to a group called "Restructuring the paragraphs about x and
y into z".

If you add some more various changes on top of that, it will be extremely
difficult for the person you are collaborating with to accept / deny changes on
a per change basis if there are no groups applied. With groups, she could easily
say, ok, I like your idea of changing England to Britain (accept), I trust you
performed spell checking the right way (accept) but I am going to have a lock at
how you restructured those paragraphs.
