Enhancements
The following enhancements enable developers to automate essential editing behaviors at the application level.
Retrieve revision content
The newgetContent() API in the revision module allows developers to extract tracked changes as an HTML string. This feature can be used to
display revision content, such as balloon text, within custom review interfaces, enhancing document review workflows.
Intercept paste event
The beforePaste event is triggered before content is pasted into the Document Editor. It allows developers to intercept and customize the paste operation by accessing the paste type and content, such as plain text or SFDT. By setting cancel to true, the default paste behavior can be prevented. This is useful for distinguishing between internal and external paste actions and applying custom logic.
Custom data for revisions
The new customData property in RevisionSettings enables developers to associate additional metadata with tracked changes. When showCustomDataWithAuthor is enabled, this metadata is displayed alongside the author’s name in the Track Changes pane, providing more context during document reviews.
