Word.Conflict class

Note

This API is provided as a preview for developers and may change based on feedback that we receive. Do not use this API in a production environment.

Represents a coauthoring conflict in a Word document.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: WordApi BETA (PREVIEW ONLY) ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

range

Gets a Range object that represents the portion of the document that's contained in the Conflict object.

type

Gets the RevisionType for the Conflict object.

Methods

accept()

Accepts the user's change and removes the conflict.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

reject()

Rejects the user's change, removes the conflict, and accepts the server copy of the change for the conflict.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.Conflict object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.ConflictData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.
