i want any of the way that can help me to revert all the changes that are made on the document ,like through Jsx script I made changes in the document like placing image re-sizing image changing swatches etc. but at a point of time i want to revert all the changes made through the same jsx code. i'm aware of undo function in Jsx but undo function just revert the recent change (can say last change ) so ,is there any way that can be used to revert all the changes.

Note: one way i know that is to close the document without save changes and reopen the same document. but avoiding this solution.

any reason you want to avoid closing without saving and reopening?

Revert just closes the document and re opens it.

no need to call revert when the process is so simple to just close and re open.

its even less lines of code then the example below, which does not work!

WARNING - This will not work!!!!

var originalInteractionLevel = userInteractionLevel;
userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
app.executeMenuCommand('revert');
userInteractionLevel = originalInteractionLevel;

user interaction stops the revert dialog, but also does not run it

This is what I would do...

timer = Date.now();
//
var myFile = File(app.activeDocument.path + '/' + app.activeDocument.name);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);  
app.open(myFile);
//
var x = (Date.now()-timer);
alert('completed in:\n' + Math.floor(x/1000/60) + ' Minutes, ' + Math.floor(x/1000%60) + ' Seconds, and ' + x%1000 + ' Milliseconds');

ran this many times on an .ai file over 50mb.

under 4 seconds every time.
