Ok,

I understand that for every interactive command there is an equivalent "uno".
I've seen already a call in lokit api for that.

Where can I find more about uno's?

Btw I already experimented with the Track Changes -> Compare document,
but the first thing I see
is a tabel of all changes found. In the noninteractrive viewer this is unwanted.
The format of how the changes in the document are presented is ok,
maybe it,s better to show only the paragraps which have
been changed in a userfriendly way, not the rest. Users should not get
the full document, only
the changes, but should get an impression of the pages, where in the
document the changes are. This is no question,
but I share my thoughts.

Thanks anyway for your answer,
