Accept or Reject Revisions Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET can extract Word track-change revisions from a DOCX file, let you accept or reject each one, and save the updated document.
To process revisions, follow these steps:
- Instantiate a
RevisionHandlerand provide the source document path or stream. - Call
get_revisions()to retrieve the list of revisions. - For each revision, set
actiontoRevisionAction.ACCEPTorRevisionAction.REJECT. - Call
apply_revision_changes()with the result file path andApplyRevisionOptionscontaining the decisions.
from groupdocs.comparison.words.revision import RevisionHandler, RevisionAction, ApplyRevisionOptions
def accept_or_reject_revisions():
with RevisionHandler("./Document_with_revision.docx") as revision_handler:
revisions = revision_handler.get_revisions()
for revision in revisions:
if revision.type == "Insertion":
revision.action = RevisionAction.ACCEPT
else:
revision.action = RevisionAction.REJECT
options = ApplyRevisionOptions()
options.changes = revisions
revision_handler.apply_revision_changes("./result.docx", options)
if __name__ == "__main__":
accept_or_reject_revisions()

To apply a single decision to every revision in the document, set common_handler on ApplyRevisionOptions:
from groupdocs.comparison.words.revision import RevisionHandler, RevisionAction, ApplyRevisionOptions
def accept_all_revisions():
with RevisionHandler("./Document_with_revision.docx") as revision_handler:
options = ApplyRevisionOptions()
options.common_handler = RevisionAction.ACCEPT
revision_handler.apply_revision_changes("./result.docx", options)
if __name__ == "__main__":
accept_all_revisions()
