API Calls to Delete Comments & Accept All Changes?

Question

Hi, 
 I am looking for a way to delete all comments and then accept all changes in a Project File, through an automated process. I have been looking but cannot seem to find any API calls that would deliver. Does anyone have something in mind, or at least a workaround? 
 Thank you, Costas

Hi Costas Nadalis , 
 In Studio 2021 SR1 in the API there we'll be a new method from where you can delete all the comments from a document. 
 Code sample: 
 var editorController = SdlTradosStudio.Application.GetController<EditorController>(); 
 var doc = editorController?.ActiveDocument; 
 
 doc.DeleteAllCommentsWithoutNotification(); 
 
 It will delete all comments including file and selection comments. 
 
 We didn't forget about the tracked changes question. We'll plan an investigation if the method is not already in Studio we'll expose one. 
 
 Have a nice day, 
 Andrea Ghisa

Hi Costas Nadalis , 
 In Studio 2021 SR1 release we exposed a method in IStudioDocument interface which allows you to: 
 
 Accept tracked changes 
 Accept tracked changes and set the confirmation level

var editorController = SdlTradosStudio.Application.GetController<EditorController>(); var doc = editorController?.ActiveDocument; 
 doc?.AcceptAllTrackedChanges(ConfirmationLevel.Unspecified); // accept tracked changes 
 doc?.AcceptAllTrackedChanges(ConfirmationLevel.ApprovedSignOff); // accept and set the confirmation level to approved sign off

Hi Costas Nadalis , 
 You can find a code sample here on how to delete a comment for a segment pair . However if the comment is at the file or rage level it will not be removed. Currently is not possible to do it from the API. 
 We'll make a note to improve the public API.
