Disable a User from Accept/Reject Changes, but Can Still Make Changes to Doc

Hi there,

I'm facing with an issue for Doc Editor Track Changes module. I want to only the creator of the document be able to accept/reject changes while others can only make changes but can't accept/reject changes. I couldn't find a way to disable the change pane. Also, we would like to keep the comment capability. Yet, when a user clicks comment and the pane shows with track changes as well. Thanks.

Best,
Le

Hi Le,

Currently, Documenteditor doesn’t have options to restrict accept/reject track changes.

To hide the track changes pane, you can use showRevisions property.

In current version, if you click comment options, pane will open with track changes options. 
 
This is your requirement or you want to show track changes for comment inserting also.

Hi Suriya,

Thanks for your comments and feedback. Here are my updates:

ant to only the creator of the document be able to accept/reject changes while others can only make changes but can't accept/reject changes.

Up-voted!

 

It would be great if we can have the feature where you can restrict targeted users from viewing, accepting/rejecting tracked changes.

couldn't find a way to disable the change pane.  

 

To hide the track changes pane, you can use showRevisions property.

showRevisions

Shows revision changes in the document.

Defaults to false

 

Not sure if this prevents changes pane from showing up. I tried ‘this.documentEditorContainer.documentEditor.showRevisions = false’ but nothing really came up

we would like to keep the comment capability. Yet, when a user clicks comment and the pane shows with track changes as well.  

In current version, if you click comment options, pane will open with track changes options.

This is your requirement or you want to show track changes for comment inserting also.

No, what I would like to have is to prevent the changes pane from showing on the right side.

 

Right now, if you click on comments button to show the comments pane, the track changes pane will show up as well, as both comments and track-change content reside in the same pane. I guess it would be helpful to separate them.


Best,
Le
