Pages: Tracking changes within tables still not a feature?

I am new to Pages for Mac and cannot find a way to display changes in tables with "Track Changes" activated. I have found discussion threads going back to 2008 and 2014. Can someone confirm to me that as of version 5.6.1 Pages still does not show tracked changes within tables? If so, are there plans to add that "feature?" I work with documents that are mostly tables in the "information mapping" style (topics on the left, explanations on the right), so tracking changes without being able to see the changes is quite a challenge.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Not supported. Can add text to table cell, with Tracking enabled. Save the document, and exit Pages v5.6.1. Open the same document, and add additional text in the same cell. Back spacing over the original cell text should impose an Author color strike-through, but instead, deletes the original text.

You are expecting Pages v5.6.1 to be professional grade software, and it falls far short of that achievement. What were you expecting from free software that is less complete than all other realistic word processing solutions on the market today.

Consider Office 2016 for Mac.
