Hi Parth,
Kindly ignore the last update.
You can achieve your requirement using DocIO in server-side. In Document editor you can accept and reject the changes UI level only .We don’t have a public API for your requirement. We are suggestion to use DocIO functionalities to achieve your requitement.

Syncfusion greatly facilitates the developer community with the feature-rich Word processing components that allows to add advanced Word document reviewing capabilities within your applications.
· An advanced Word Processor (editor) to track changes in a Word document using its intuitive user interface in Web applications.
· A comprehensive Word library that allows to access and accept or reject the tracked changes in a Word document using its powerful APIs in .NET and Java.
Intuitive user interface to track changes in Syncfusion Word Processor
When the track changes option is enabled in the Word Processor component, the edits or changes made are marked as
· Strikethrough for deleted information, and
· Underline for inserted information.
This component provides intuitive user interface to do the following actions with the track changes.
· Enable or disable track changes ability of the editor
· Access all the tracked revisions.
· Accept or reject a specific change
· Accept or reject all the changes
· Filtering changes based on the particular user
· Navigate between the changes

Note: Word Processor (Document Editor) component requires server-side interaction for the below-listed operations.
You can get the Web API project from this GitHub location. |
Accept or reject changes using Syncfusion DocIO Word library
Syncfusion provides comprehensive Word library in both .NET (C#, VB.NET) and Java, hence you have complete freedom in opting the best fit server-side automation code for your project. It provides powerful APIs to access revisions (tracked changes) and accept or reject a change or group of changes.
You can automate accepting or rejecting the tracked changes in server-side using Syncfusion Word library before displaying the Word document in web browser (using Syncfusion Word Processor). Before accepting or rejecting the changes, you can validate and filter the changes based on the following,
1. Authors
2. Revision types (Insertion, Deletion, Formatting, MoveFrom, MoveTo, StyleDefinitionChange)
This example accepts/rejects the tracked changes from the following Word document.

Accept the changes
The following C# code example illustrates how to accept all the changes made by an author in Word document using the Syncfusion Word Library.
|
//Reads the input Word document
//Kindly give your path with input document.
Stream inputStream = File.OpenRead(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../../../../Data/InputWithTrackedChanges.docx"));
string authorName = "Steven Buchanan";
int acceptedChangesCount = AcceptChanges(inputStream, authorName);
Console.WriteLine("Accepted {0} changes made by {1}.", acceptedChangesCount, authorName);
static int AcceptChanges(Stream inputStream, string authorName)
{
int acceptedChangesCount = 0;
//Creates new Word document instance for Word processing
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
//Opens the Word document containing tracked changes
document.Open(inputStream, FormatType.Docx);
inputStream.Dispose();
//Iterates all the revisions present in the Word document
for (int i = document.Revisions.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
//Validates the author of current revision to accepts/rejects it
if (document.Revisions[i].Author == authorName)
{
//Accepts the current revision
document.Revisions[i].Accept();
acceptedChangesCount++;
}
//Resets i to last item, since accepting one revision will impact all its related revisions and leads to change in Revsions
if (i > document.Revisions.Count - 1)
i = document.Revisions.Count;
}
//Saves the Word document as DOCX format
using (Stream docStream = File.Create(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../OutputAfterAcceptingChanges.docx")))
{
document.Save(docStream, FormatType.Docx);
}
}
return acceptedChangesCount;
} |
The resultant Word document looks as follows.

Similarly, you can filter all the changes made by an author and reject the filtered changes in Word document.
Reject the changes
The following C# code example illustrates how to reject the insert and delete revisions made by all authors and keep the formatting changes in Word document using the Syncfusion Word Library.
|
//Reads the input Word document
Stream inputStream = File.OpenRead(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../../../../Data/InputWithTrackedChanges.docx"));
RevisionType revisionType = RevisionType.Insertions | RevisionType.Deletions;
int rejectedChangesCount = RejectChanges(inputStream, revisionType);
static int RejectChanges(Stream inputStream, RevisionType revisionType)
{
int rejectedChangesCount = 0;
//Creates new Word document instance for Word processing
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
//Opens the Word document containing tracked changes
document.Open(inputStream, FormatType.Docx);
inputStream.Dispose();
//Iterates all the revisions present in the Word document
for (int i = document.Revisions.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
//Validates the revision type of current revision to accepts/rejects it
if ((document.Revisions[i].RevisionType & revisionType) != 0)
{
//Rejects the current revision
document.Revisions[i].Reject();
rejectedChangesCount++;
}
//Resets i to last item, since rejecting one revision will impact all its related revisions and lead to change in Revsions
if (i > document.Revisions.Count - 1)
i = document.Revisions.Count;
}
//Saves the Word document as DOCX format
using (Stream docStream = File.Create(Path.GetFullPath(@"../../../OutputAfterRejectingChanges.docx")))
{
document.Save(docStream, FormatType.Docx);
}
}
return rejectedChangesCount;
} |
The resultant Word document looks as follows.
