Setting author of changes

On this page

GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to set the changes author name in the resulting document. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Instantiate the Comparer object. Specify a source file path or an input stream.
  2. Call the add method. Specify a target file path or an input stream.
  3. Instantiate the CompareOptions object. Set the WordTrackChanges and ShowRevisions properties to true.
  4. Set the author of changes via the RevisionAuthorName property.
  5. Call the compare() method. Specify the CompareOptions object from the previous step.

The following code snippet shows how to set the changes author:

const comparer = new groupdocs.comparison.Comparer(sourcePath);
comparer.add(targetPath);

const compareOptions = new groupdocs.comparison.CompareOptions();
compareOptions.setShowRevisions(true);
compareOptions.setWordTrackChanges(true);
compareOptions.setRevisionAuthorName("New author");

comparer.compare(resultPath, compareOptions);

The result is as follows:
