Overview

CommentAuthorsPart is a class in Aspose.Slides for CPP. Inherits from: CommentAuthorsPart.

Methods

Signature	Description
`get_authors()` → `std::vector<AuthorData>`	Get all authors in this part.
`find_author_by_id(author_id: int32_t)` → `std::optional<AuthorData>`	Find an author by numeric ID.
`add_author(name: std::string_view, initials: std::string_view)` → `AuthorData`	Add a new author and return its AuthorData.
`remove_author(author_id: int32_t)`	Remove an author by numeric ID.
`clear()`	Remove all authors.
`next_comment_idx(author_id: int32_t)` → `int32_t`	Return the next globally-unique comment index. OOXML parentCmId references idx values that must be unique across ALL authors within the presentation (not just per-author). This method takes the maximum lastIdx across every author, increments it, and updates the target author’s lastIdx.
`save()`	Persist the XML back to the package.
`ensure_registered(package: opc::OpcPackage, presentation_part_name: std::string_view)`	Ensure that commentAuthors.xml is registered in content types and the presentation has a relationship to it. Call before first save. (e.g. “ppt/presentation.xml”).
