Which version of the template are you using? Do you use a cloud-based service? Which one? Do you use a local service? I am using latexmk with the pdflatex backend What went wrong? \newcommand{\listchangesname}{List of Changes}

After some researching, the following works, without the \newcommand\listchangesname{List of Changes to Document}
\newlistof{listofchanges}{loc}{\listchangesname}
\newlistentry[chapter]{change}{loc}{0}
\newcounter{changectr}
\setcounter{changectr}{0}
\newcommand{\change}[1]%
{
\refstepcounter{changectr}%
\addcontentsline
{loc}%
{change}%
{\protect\numberline{\thesection}{\ignorespaces Change \thechangectr - #1}}%
{\large\textbf{Change \thechangectr - #1}} \par
}Here I also defined a custom counter Maybe its the Shall I keep this open? |

Firstly, this will be a little bit off-topic. I never thought about inserting the changes as custom command directly into the document and adding an index of changes. If you're tracking changes to the document, I have to-do notes like Add todo notes to your document, but a little bit more elaborated. But this (your snippet) is a great resource. Secondly, have you considered using Lastly, about your question. You have this: As your error log said, \newcommand{\listanswername}{List of Answers}
\newlistof[chapter]{answer}{ans}{\listanswername}
\newcommand{\answer}[1]{%
\refstepcounter{answer}
\par\noindent\textbf{Answer \theanswer. #1}
\addcontentsline{ans}{answer}{\protect\numberline{\theanswer}#1}\par}The According to your first post, the correct would be. \newcommand{\listchangename}{List of Changes}
\newlistof{changelog}{loc}{\listchangename}
\newcommand{\change}[1]
{%
\refstepcounter{change}%
\par\noindent\textbf{Change \thechange. #1}
\addcontentsline{loc}{changelog}{\protect\numberline{\thechapter.\thechange} \hspace{0.3em} #1}\par

Please leave the issue open until I have time to check this error and (possibly) include your solution in the template. Thanks. |

I don't think this is a bug, it was probably my misuse of the package. Also, given there's a more stable and robust package ( |

Well, @joaomlourenco is the template's maintainer and he knows its "cogs and leverages" 😄 by heart. The answer that he gave maybe it's to see the issue with more calm and time. Anyway, the The craftsman uses a tool for his craft, and the craft is what's important. The tool is what the craftsman thinks is better for him to accomplish the goal of his craft. If it works it's a good tool, if it doesn't it isn't 😉 |

Since I want to deliver this as fast as possible, I'll keep my solution because I cannot waste any more time. Regardless, thanks for all the help and feedback. Also, my thesis has multiple files, even for each chapter, because personally I find it more organized that way. I have The best generic way for applying latexdiff to multiple files, would probably be for the script to go through a source folder and recusively apply the command for all of the "user source" files. If there was any way of telling the latex compiler to fuse everything in a single file, similar to how C and C++ preprocessors work, that would simplify the task but I don't think latex is preprocessed so... I might test a recursive script after delivering the thesis revision. EDIT: Sorry I didnt fully read the --flatten argument did that. |

I'll mark your original response as answered. As I said previously, that was only a suggestion. There's a tool for everything, but there is always a cognitive load to use that tool, to some degree. If what you're doing is now working for you, then there isn't really a necessity to change. Unless you really want it. |

Thanks for the answer. I think its pretty evident I am a complete noob in LateX and had no idea about the existence of
latexdiffpackage. It seems I unnecessarily reinvented the wheel... I'll check it out and probably switch to it. I also got very confused about what package implemented these commands.About the counter, I apologize, it is not reseting but rather indicating me the chapter the change appears on followed by
