Work with Document Comparison Programmatically

The API offers methods to request revisions and to get those requested revisions once they have been retrieved.

Requesting and Getting Revisions

Request the revisions for a given document comparison. Revisions requests complete asynchronously. A PCCViewer.RevisionsRequest will be returned that provides events for revisions retrieval progress and members to access retrieved revisions.

Example	Copy Code
// Request revisions var revisionsRequest = viewerControl.requestRevisions(); // Subscribe to the PartialRevisionsAvailable event to get revisions as they become available revisionsRequest.on('PartialRevisionsAvailable', function(_event) { // Get the newly available revisions var newRevisions = _event.partialRevisions; }); // Subscribe to the RevisionsRetrievalCompleted event to get revisions when all of them are available revisionsRequest.on("RevisionsRetrievalCompleted", function(){ // Get all of the revisions for that comparison var revisions = revisionsRequest.getRevisions(); });

Example

Copy Code

// Request revisions
var revisionsRequest = viewerControl.requestRevisions();
// Subscribe to the PartialRevisionsAvailable event to get revisions as they become available
revisionsRequest.on('PartialRevisionsAvailable', function(_event) {
    // Get the newly available revisions
    var newRevisions = _event.partialRevisions;
});
// Subscribe to the RevisionsRetrievalCompleted event to get revisions when all of them are available
revisionsRequest.on("RevisionsRetrievalCompleted", function(){
    // Get all of the revisions for that comparison
    var revisions = revisionsRequest.getRevisions();
});
