I am again facing an issue with the changes package regarding footnotes: is it possible to somehow use it to mark the deletion of a footnote? If I use the code below, the final version still features the footnote. How can I get rid of it, while still being able to highlight its deletion (in the non-final version)?
Thanks, Jorge.

Example:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[paperheight=4cm,paperwidth=8cm,margin=0.5cm]geometry

usepackagechanges
%usepackage[final]changes

begindocument

% This compiles, but doesn't yield the desired output:
Let's try deleting a footnotefootnotedeletedWhich had some text..

% This doesn't compile:
%Let's try deleting a footnotedeletedfootnoteWhich had some text..

enddocument 

Output (non-final left; final right):

You have the deleted command inside the command footnote. But this way the footnote will remain there and will be empty after selecting filal option of changes.

The (boolean) variable that shows if the version is draft is named Changes@optiondraft and also the package ifthen is loaded.

So, my idea is to define a command deletedfootnote and when you want to delete a whole footnote, add deleted word before the footnote of the command footnote
like this deletedfootnote

The code is here:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[paperheight=4cm,paperwidth=8cm,margin=0.5cm]geometry
usepackagechanges
%usepackage[final]changes



makeatletter
newcommanddeletedfootnote[1]%
 ifthenelsebooleanChanges@optiondraft
 footnotedeleted#1
 
makeatother

begindocument

% This compiles, but doesn't yield the desired output:
Let's try deleting a footnotedeletedfootnoteWhich had some text..

% This doesn't compile:
%Let's try deleting a footnotedeletedfootnoteWhich had some text..

enddocument

Output with draft:

Output with final
