This scenario is one where "reinstate" would _not_ be used. That is because if
Alice opposed the change, she would not introduce it into the baseline
document. Introduction into the baseline document means that if there is no
agreement on further changes - the change is final. So, in your example, Alice
would either Reject (if she has the authority); or keep Bob's change as
tracked, making a comment perhaps.

I believe you are sharing the false assumption that tracked changes are
eventually all accepted; they are not. When you are a single person working on
a document, you could make that assumption, but once others are involved (and
even more so, in a formal setting like contract negotiations) - you absolutely
can't.

> "Oppose change" could be a good choice.

Lars, suppose someone sends you a letter asking you pay them a million dollars.
Now, you send them the money, but also send a letter asking that they pay you a
million dollars.

Have you "opposed" the demand?
