Collaborative editing in React DOCX Editor

Real-time collaborative editing

Multiple users can work on the same document at the same time and view updates as changes are made. Real-time collaboration is suitable for content that requires input from multiple contributors with visibility into each other’s changes.

Track changes in React DOCX Editor

Review tracked changes

Track every insertion and deletion made within the editor while preserving a complete revision history. Change tracking is suitable for review processes that require edits to be examined before they are accepted and the document is finalized.

Comments in React DOCX Editor

Discuss content with comments

Comments and replies keep feedback and discussions separate from document content. Comment-based review is suitable for sharing feedback, asking questions, discussing updates, or adding approval notes before content is finalized.

React DOCX Editor track changes with custom metadata

Include metadata in revisions

Add revision details beyond the author name to include roles, reference IDs, tags, or other review-related information. Revision metadata is suitable for review processes that require additional identifiers or contextual information for tracked changes.

React DOCX Editor highlight comments by author

Highlight comments by author

Avatar-based comment colors apply each author’s avatar color to comment markers and pane borders, while selected comments highlight related text in the same color. Color-based identification is suitable for distinguishing comments and review activity across multiple authors.

React DOCX Editor custom color of tracked changes

Author-based revision colors

Customize tracked change colors for insertions, deletions, and table row revisions, or apply author-based colors to different contributors. Revision color settings are suitable for distinguishing edits by change type or author during collaborative reviews.

Syncfusion Essential Studio® provides ready-to-use, customizable UI components that speed up frontend development. In our case, the document editor enables users to work with rich-text content directly in the browser, and the SFDT format allows us to implement advanced document workflows. This saves us development time on the frontend and helps maintain a consistent UX without building such tools from scratch.

Walter C

CTO

If you need to do it in your UI, there’s likely a component that does it. They’re powerful, easy to install and easy to configure. Their support behind their product continually exceeds my expectations, well beyond anything else I see anywhere else. Tremendous bang for the buck. I’ve got probably a dozen different components deployed, so you name it. The Document Editor is a particularly powerful tool and a real differentiator.
