How this tool works
Implements client-side Word Track Changes & Revision Log Viewer operations. Parses `word/document.xml` revision elements, matching author names, revision timestamps, and changed clauses specifically designed for a legal reviewer inspects all tracked insertion (`<w:ins>`) and deletion (`<w:del>`) revisions in a contract.
- OpenXML ZIP Decompression: Unpacks DOCX/PPTX archive structures in memory via fflate, validating package integrity against Zip Bomb attacks.
- XML DOM Parsing & Relationship Mapping: Parses word/comments.xml and word/_rels/document.xml.rels to resolve comment ranges, authors, and dates.
- Thread & Status Reconstruction: Reconstructs parent-child reply relationships and resolved states from commentsExtended parts.
- XLSX Workbook Compilation: Compiles parsed records into a typed Excel workbook with frozen header rows and auto-filters.

Limits and verification
Legacy binary formats (.doc, .ppt, .xls) must be converted to modern OpenXML (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx) before processing. Password-encrypted Office packages must be unlocked prior to parsing.
Examples demonstrate an expected workflow; they do not prove every input or every branch of an external specification. Check important results with an independent source before using them for money, security, compliance, safety, or irreversible file changes.
Browser processing boundary
Tool input is processed by code running in the browser and is not intentionally sent to a CZOA processing API. The page can still request ordinary site assets, analytics, or advertising when those services are enabled. Browser extensions and managed-device software remain outside this tool's control.

Frequently asked questions
How does Word Track Changes & Revision Log Viewer perform its client-side transformations?+
Word Track Changes & Revision Log Viewer opens the local Office ZIP package, collects its XML parts, and counts `w:ins` and `w:del` tags. It reports those two counts as JSON.
Which options and arguments can be adjusted in Word Track Changes & Revision Log Viewer?+
The visible controls are Choose local file(s) and Process locally. There are no author, date, accept/reject, or revision-filter controls. The independent fixture with one insertion and one deletion returned counts of 1 and 1.
How does Word Track Changes & Revision Log Viewer protect against invalid states or mathematical limits?+
The file must be a readable DOCX or PPTX ZIP package. The counter scans XML tags and can report zero when revision tags are absent; it does not extract changed text, authors, timestamps, or decide whether a revision is valid.
How does client-side isolation in Word Track Changes & Revision Log Viewer protect enterprise data confidentiality?+
The inspection action runs in the browser. The isolated candidate check delivered the Office file through the browser File API and rendered the two JSON counts; it did not establish storage behavior outside that isolated page session.
