Show Revisions Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET lets you toggle the visibility of inline revision markers in the result. Disable them when you want a clean deliverable for end users.

from groupdocs.comparison import Comparer
from groupdocs.comparison.options import CompareOptions

def hide_revisions():
    with Comparer("./source.docx") as comparer:
        comparer.add("./target.docx")
        options = CompareOptions()
        options.show_revisions = False
        comparer.compare("./result.docx", options)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    hide_revisions()

Use case: produce a clean deliverable without inline revision markers for end users.

The result is as follows:

Disabled revisions display

• word_track_changes — when set to True, GroupDocs writes diffs as Word Track Changes revisions. show_revisions = False then hides those revision markers in the rendered output but keeps them in the underlying document XML — opening the result in Word with track-changes UI enabled will still show them.
• revision_author_name — only meaningful when show_revisions = True. With revisions hidden, the author name is recorded but invisible.
• leave_gaps — orthogonal: gap lines apply to inserted/deleted content blocks, not to revision markers.

• Word track changes — control whether revisions are emitted in the first place.
• Setting author of changes — attribute revisions to a specific author.
• Accept or reject revisions — process the revisions programmatically after comparison.
