Introduction

The Revise Editor SDK is a React component that embeds a DOCX-compatible word processor in your web application. Your application keeps its own shell, authentication, storage, and users.

npm i revise

pnpm add revise

yarn add revise yjs y-protocols

If you're using a coding agent like Claude Code or Codex, you can get started quickly by telling it:

Let's use the Revise SDK! https://revise.io/skills/sdk.md

What you get#

• Word in, Word out. Open .docx, .odt, .rtf, Markdown, plain text, or HTML, and export .docx with comments and tracked changes intact.
• Real pages. Canvas rendering with pagination, and the built-in ribbon or your own toolbar.
• Collaboration. Every document is a Yjs CRDT. Pass a provider for live carets and presence.
• Agent tools. JSON-schema tools your model calls to read and edit the document, as tracked changes.
• A server side. revise/server runs the same engine and tools in Node, on the same documents.

What you bring#

Accounts, storage, a sync server for collaboration, and your AI model. The SDK is a component, not a platform: nothing leaves the browser unless you connect it.

Free for evaluation, personal projects, and education. Production use by organizations needs a license.

Live demos#

Small apps built on the SDK, running on GitHub Pages:

• DOCX round trip: open a .docx, edit it, and download .docx or PDF.
• Custom toolbar: no ribbon, just your own toolbar, colors, and fonts around the page.
• AI redline: Claude edits the document as tracked changes you review. Bring an Anthropic API key.
• Review portal: editor, suggester, and viewer roles with comments.

The source for these, plus a multiplayer server and a Node redline, is in reviseio/examples.
