API reference / Common / Engine types / CommentAuthor

Interface: CommentAuthor

A person, by value.

The files key people three ways — docx by the name, word/people.xml beside it; Word's reactions and Word's and Excel's tasks by the name and account written out; xlsx and pptx otherwise by an id into a list — and a person is written once and never edited. So each comment holds its people itself, and a save writes the lists of people from them.
