# Document view

The open document drawn the way Word's review view does, redrawn as each context.sync() lands.

Open `$RYSTIC_URL/_rystic/ui` in a browser while your add-in runs, and the Document card shows the simulator's document the way Word's review view does, redrawn as each `context.sync()` lands. The same reading is JSON at `GET /_rystic/inspect?view=document`, which a test can read too:

```bash
curl -s "$RYSTIC_URL/_rystic/inspect?view=document" | jq -c '.blocks[3].runs[1]'
# -> {"text":"New York","del":{"author":"Bob","date":"2024-01-03T09:30:00Z"}}
curl -s "$RYSTIC_URL/_rystic/inspect?view=document" | jq -c '.comments | length'
# -> 2
```

1. **Redlines.** Insertions are underlined and deletions struck through, each in its author's color, with a change bar beside every changed paragraph. A revision that just arrived flashes once.
2. **Comments.** Threads and their replies sit in the margin beside the line they anchor on. Resolved threads are dimmed, and hovering a thread highlights its text.
3. **Tracking mode.** The Review bar shows `changeTrackingMode`, with `TrackAll` labeled **For Everyone** and `TrackMineOnly` labeled **Just Mine**, alongside the change and comment counts and each author's color.

### What the card does not draw

The card shows the document's content, not Word's page layout: there is no pagination, no headers or footers and no page numbers. It is read-only. It draws the simulator's own JSON reading of the document, so it adds no batches to your add-in's traffic or to the counts `office.stats()` reports.
