Dear Team,
Can you please advise if I can get the name of the user who did the changes, so for example the document is modified by many users can I get their names along with the change description?

Dear Rizwan,
Many Thanks for your swift response, I was digging into the API and found the Type named “ChangeInfo” which has a getter/setter “Authors”.
Can you please advise if this will give the information of the user name who did the changes?
Thanks,
Kind Regards,
Md Reza.
Thank you for coming back.
Yes, “Changeinfo” is available but the purpose of this is for getting changes off array, however we have logged your request in our ticketing system for further investigation and solution feasibility. Once we have any update regarding this, we will update you here.

Dear Rizwan,
Many thanks for your response,
It means that ChangeInfo will get all the changes done to the word document when the Track Changes feature for the document is active?
Thanks,
Dear Rizwan,
Can you please provide me response with the last question as this is now escalated by the client and we need to implement the same?
Thanks,
Kind Regards,
Md Reza.
ChangeInfo holds the all details regarding changes in a result file that also contains the “Author” name, please see this sample code for reference.
//Get array of changes
ChangeInfo[] changes = result.GetChanges();
foreach (ChangeInfo change in changes)
{
Console.WriteLine("Change Text: " + change.Text);
if (change.Authors != null)
{
foreach (string auth in change.Authors)
{
Console.WriteLine("Author: " + auth);
}
}
}
We have also noticed that the “Author” property is null for our sample word documents and we are sharing this with the product team for the resolution as it could be only issue with our sample word document files only.
Kindly share your findings for “Author” property.
Thanks

Dear Rizwan,
I tried to check the Authors member variable after enabling the Track changes feature of Word document and also found that somehow it is populated but only with null values?
Can you please get the solution for this with the technical team?
