Show results of comparison as a Word Track Changes Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to customize the display of revisions in the output document.
Revision is a collection of changes received when comparing documents using built-in Word tools.
By default, the Word Track Changes option is false. The following code snippet shows how to enable Word Track Changes:
'use strict';
// Import the GroupDocs Comparison Node.js SDK
const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.comparison');
// Define file paths for source, target, and result documents
const sourcePath = 'sample-files/source.docx';
const targetPath = 'sample-files/target.docx';
const resultPath = 'sample-files/result_word_track.docx';
// Create a comparer instance using the source document
const comparer = new groupdocs.Comparer(sourcePath);
// Add the target document to the comparison set
comparer.add(targetPath);
// Initialize comparison options
const options = new groupdocs.CompareOptions();
// Enable Word Track Changes in the output document
options.setWordTrackChanges(true);
// Perform the comparison and save the result to the specified path
comparer.compare(resultPath, options);
// Terminate the process with a success exit code
process.exit(0);
This example creates a Comparer instance with the source document, adds the target document, and creates a CompareOptions object. It enables Word Track Changes by setting setWordTrackChanges(true). When the comparison is performed, the result document will use Microsoft Word’s built-in Track Changes feature to display revisions, making it compatible with Word’s revision tracking system and allowing users to accept or reject changes directly in Word.
The result is as follows:
| WordTrackChanges true |
|---|
 |
| WordTrackChanges false |
|---|
