Changelog for Document Authoring SDK

• Added
  Adds editor.getZoom() and editor.setZoom(factor) for reading and changing the editor zoom programmatically.
• Added
  Adds exact and at-least line spacing, preserved through DOCX, ODT, RTF, and HTML import and export. The toolbar can set both modes, and older DocJSON documents are upgraded on load.
• Added
  Adds portable document locations, navigation that preserves the current selection, and visual highlights.
• Added
  Adds programmatic find results that can select and reveal exact text matches.
• Added
  Adds bookmarks and hyperlinks to bookmarks, preserved through DOCX, ODT, and RTF. The links also work in exported HTML and PDF.
• Added
  Adds table of contents support. Imported entries remain editable, and the context menu can regenerate them from the current headings and page numbers. A new table of contents can be inserted from the toolbar.
• Changed
  Improves typing responsiveness by removing waits before layout and visible page rendering.
• Fixed
  Fixes a toolbar crash when pasting HTML with unsupported CSS colors.
• Fixed
  Fixes numbered lists set to restart continuing the previous list after a DOCX round trip.
• Fixed
  Fixes pasted HTML colors appearing incorrectly in exported Word documents.
• Fixed
  Fixes rejecting tracked text or paragraph formatting changes leaving the new formatting applied after saving as DocJSON or exporting to DOCX.

See the release notes.

The AI changes below require Document Authoring AI 2.0.

• Added
  Adds a selection.change event so applications can respond when users move the caret, select text, or clear the selection.
• Changed
  Improves AI workflow reliability with smaller models such as GPT-5.4-mini. Models now return a list of edits instead of recreating the fragment, preserving content and formatting outside those edits.
• Added
  Adds list_revisions to Document Authoring AI so assistants can inspect pending tracked changes, including their authors and text previews.
• Fixed
  Fixes AI edits failing after the first tracked change in Review mode, allowing assistants to continue editing the document.
• Fixed
  Fixes an issue where users with the reviewer role couldn’t apply AI-suggested edits as tracked changes.

See the release notes(opens in a new tab).

• Changed
  Changes field values to ordinary inline text in TextView.inlines() and text extraction.
• Added
  Adds programmatic APIs for listing, filtering, accepting, rejecting, and withdrawing tracked changes.
• Added
  Adds transaction reports with document digests and a typed change list.
• Added
  Adds lifecycle events for tracked changes and comments.
• Added
  Adds permission checks and participant roles for review operations.
• Added
  Adds a built-in find toolbar item.
• Fixed
  Fixes plain-text insertions in review mode so they remain part of the active revision.
• Fixed
  Fixes paragraph indentation so text doesn’t extend beyond the page or section content edge.

• Fixed
  Fixes replaceText skipping matches when callers use a global regular expression.
• Fixed
  Fixes an infinite layout loop when importing DOCX files with floating tables positioned near an obstacle boundary.
• Fixed
  Fixes legacy Vector Markup Language (VML) pictures being dropped during DOCX import.

• Added
  Adds a programmatic API for opening, closing, and reading the state of the search bar.
• Added
  Adds a search bar for searching for text in the document.
• Added
  Adds copy and paste support for shapes. Pasted floating shapes and images are reanchored to the caret, so they appear near the paste location instead of their original page position.
• Added
  Adds stable Node.js support through @nutrient-sdk/document-authoring/node for headless document import, editing, and export in ECMAScript modules (ESM) and CommonJS applications. Supported Node.js long-term support (LTS) releases currently include Node.js 22 and 24. Production use requires a license containing the Document Authoring Node.js runtime entitlement. Asset modes include the default content delivery network (CDN), self-hosted HTTP(S), and fully offline local assets.
• Added
  Adds stacking order (z-order) support for floating images and shapes.
• Fixed
  Fixes an issue where images, shapes, and tables could still be selected, moved, or resized in view mode.
• Fixed
  Fixes text wrapping around overlapping floating shapes.

• Added
  Adds TextView.addShape to insert a shape programmatically, and changes Shape.ensureText to return a body without seeding an empty paragraph (add one via the returned container’s addParagraph).
• Added
  Adds bundled font documentation to the API documentation, listing which fonts are always bundled and which are part of the default font index.
• Added
  Adds shape fill and outline transparency.
• Added
  Adds support for custom (free form) shape outlines.
• Added
  Adds support for floating tables and table alignment, preserved across DOCX, RTF, and ODT import and export.
• Added
  Adds support for page number and page count fields in the document body: Imported fields keep their last known value and can be updated or changed from the context menu, and new fields can be inserted from the toolbar insert menu.
• Changed
  Changes comment identifiers to UUIDs and DOCX comment export to specification-valid integer w:id values. Comment threads anchored to multiple separated text ranges still export one comment copy per range, but reimporting the file now yields one thread per range instead of merging the copies.
• Fixed
  Fixes an issue where rotated floating shapes and images could drift from their original position after a DOCX roundtrip.
• Fixed
  Fixes header/footer spacing controls so entering header or footer mode initializes both distances, and reopening the toolbar menu reflects the current ruler unit.
• Fixed
  Fixes images missing after importing DOCX files created by some non-Word applications.
• Fixed
  Fixes table borders, cell margins, paragraph alignment, and indentation being dropped when importing DOCX files that use the start/end property spellings instead of left/right, as written by LibreOffice, among others.
• Changed
  Improves text wrapping options in menus.

• Added
  Adds header and footer editing, a toolbar menu for toggling different first-page or odd/even-page variants, and controls for adjusting header/footer spacing.
• Added
  Adds text wrapping options for floating images and shapes: in front of text, behind text, and top-and-bottom (text appears only above and below the image, not on its sides).
• Added
  Adds programmatic API support for reading and setting the header and footer distance on a section via the header and footer fields on PageMargins.

• Added
  Adds shape support: Insert text boxes and preset shapes from the toolbar, edit a selected shape’s geometry, fill, and outline, and import shapes (including grouped drawings) from documents.
• Added
  Adds a programmatic API for shapes, covering geometry preset, size, fill, outline, and text body.
• Added
  Adds tab stop leaders support (a dot, hyphen, or underscore fill leading up to the tab).
• Added
  Adds page margin resizing to the ruler by dragging the margin boundaries.
• Changed
  Improves DOCX import so bar tab stops are kept instead of being dropped.
• Added
  Adds a ruler settings menu for a paragraph’s tab stops, the document’s default tab stop distance, and showing the default tab stops on the ruler.
• Added
  Adds more options for tab stop editing on the ruler: Right-click empty space to insert a tab stop or a marker to edit or delete one.
• Added
  Adds a picker for choosing the type of a new tab stop: left, center, right, decimal (aligns numbers on their decimal point), or bar (a vertical line at a fixed position that tabs skip over, with no leader).
• Changed
  Improves selection so that images are now tinted to show they’re selected.
• Fixed
  Fixes long, unbroken words after tabs being pushed to a new line; they now stay on the line and break to fit (consistent with MS Word).
• Fixed
  Fixes tabs making a line taller than its text; tab content now stays within the line height.
• Fixed
  Fixes an issue where several built-in actions (zoom, page/section break, alignment, indentation, lists, ruler/formatting-marks toggle) and their default keyboard shortcuts didn’t fire.
• Fixed
  Fixes the cursor being placed one character to the left when moving between lines with the up and down arrow keys, specifically when at the start of a word.
• Fixed
  Fixes view mode not being fully read-only.

• Fixed
  Fixes an issue where our build process stripped “magic comments” (like webpackIgnore) that tell a bundler to preserve a dynamic import() and resolve it at runtime. Depending on the bundler, this could break the build or cause a runtime “Cannot find module” error.
