What is WYSIWYG word editing?

WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) Word editing means what is viewed in the document editor is how the final file will look. This visual feedback allows users to see formatting, styling, and layout changes as they make them without needing to switch views or preview changes.

Apryse DOCX Editor Use Cases

Efficient Redline and Approval Workflows

Legal advisors track document changes to understand what edits were made, who made them, and when, bringing transparency and efficiency to the review process while eliminating the need to reload DOCX files or share changes via insecure methods such as email communications and attachments.

Reduced System Complexity

IT teams can reduce or eliminate the need for users to convert documents from one system to another while minimizing document formatting issues, information loss, and security concerns by using a single web application without server-side conversions.

Formatting and Error Prevention

Users exploring document formatting options can use the undo/redo feature to quickly return to an earlier version of content. This ensures that essential details, like entity names, dollar amounts, or legal terms, are preserved and accurate throughout the restructuring or recovery process.

Programmatic Tracked Changes

TrackedChangeManager gives developers direct access to tracked changes in code. Accept, reject, navigate to, and retrieve individual changes programmatically, so contract review pipelines and AI-assisted editing tools can act on document changes without user interaction in the editor.
