Collaborative review API
Review tracked document changes
Review a modern mutual NDA, inspect every revision as structured data, and switch identities to continue the legal review as another contributor.

What this demonstrates
Revisions remain first-class document objects
TX Text Control visually marks collaborative edits while exposing every revision through the JavaScript API. Applications can identify who changed which text, navigate revisions, and build custom accept-or-reject workflows without parsing document markup.

How it works
TXTextControl.setIsTrackChangesEnabled(true) enables redlining for subsequent edits. The identity supplied through the Razor setting TextControlSettings.UserNames is stored with each new TrackedChange.
TXTextControl.trackedChanges contains the revisions in the active text part. The demo combines getCount and elementAt with asynchronous getters such as getUserName, getChangeTime, getStart, and getLength to build the revision timeline.
TrackedChange.setActive(true) activates a selected revision in the editor. For directional navigation, TrackedChangeCollection.getItem locates the next or previous change relative to the current input position.
TrackedChangeCollection.remove(change, true) accepts a revision. Passing false rejects it: inserted text is removed and deleted text is restored. In both cases the review decision removes the revision marker from the collection.
Changing the author requires a new editor configuration. The demo therefore saves the current document in InternalUnicodeFormat, reloads the page with another UserNames value, and restores the document so review state is preserved.
TXTextControl.trackedChanges.elementAt(0, change => {
change.getUserName(author => console.log(author));
change.getText(text => console.log(text));
change.getChangeKind(kind => console.log(kind));
});
TXTextControl.trackedChanges.remove(
selectedChange,
true,
removed => refreshTimeline());

settings.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
settings.UserNames = new[] { currentAuthor };
}).Render()
