Expose Revision Display Mode (Inline vs. Balloons) via Office.js
Currently, Office.js does not provide an API to retrieve the revision display mode used by Microsoft Word (inline or balloons) when change tracking is enabled.
It would be highly valuable to expose this information through the Word JavaScript API, allowing add-ins to detect how tracked changes are displayed and adapt their behavior accordingly. This would enable more reliable handling of scenarios when change tracking is active.
Use Case
Add-ins that work with tracked changes need to understand whether revisions are shown inline or in balloons to ensure correct document manipulation and a consistent user experience across platforms (PC, Mac, iOS, and Office on the web).
