Accepting Track changes in tables

Question

We are trying to create a script to accept track changes app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().changes.everyItem().accept();app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().changes.everyItem().accept();this is what we've used the first line has cleared the changes in the document outside tables but the second line hasn't cleared the changes in tables. We are using a plugin called SuperTrack but that should link to the track changes in Indesign is this something some one could help with please?

Hi @Alex25077296wbvx,Your code will still not get all the tables in the document. It will work only on the 1st level of nested tables. To get all the tables however deep they are nested in a table, try the following code/*https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/accepting-track-changes-in-tables/td-p/13181717Script to get an array of all the talbes present in a documentPre Requisite:- The script needs an open documentWarning :- No elaborate error checkingAuthor:- Manan JoshiGuthub Repo :- https://github.com/Manan-Joshi/InDesign-Scripts.git*/function getTables(pCol){    var retval = [];    var tables = pCol.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements()    retval = retval.concat(tables)    for(var i = 0; i < tables.length; i++){        retval = retval.concat(getTables(tables[i].cells))    }    return retval}var tables = getTables(app.documents[0].stories)-MananThere is a conversation here:https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/find-change-specific-tables/m-p/9760163 Search for the anchored character."<0016>"

Both app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().changes.everyItem().accept();andapp.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().changes.everyItem().accept();work fine over here. Maybe contact the plug-in developer and report the problem.
