Is there a way to save only the edits?

If I could just highlight the parts of interest and maybe change their colour or something and then at the end of the document select all such parts and copy/paste elsewhere it'd be a godsend.

The simplest way would be to:
1. make a copy of the document;
2. highlight all content in the copy;
3. remove the highlight from the parts you want to retain; then
4. use Find/Replace to delete all highlighted text.
Simple, effective, and no macros required.
