Ice is a JavaScript library that implements track changes (insert/delete tracking with accept/reject) for any contenteditable element on the web. Built by The New York Times CMS group, it powers the newsroom's article editing tools and includes plugins for TinyMCE and WordPress.

Use cases

• add track changes to a contenteditable editor
• track multi-user inserts and deletes in a web text editor
• accept and reject edits programmatically in rich text
• get clean HTML content without change-tracking markup
• integrate revision tracking into TinyMCE or WordPress editors
• track copy-pasted content in an editable region

When to choose

• you need Word-style track changes in a browser-based contenteditable editor
• you use TinyMCE or WordPress and want revision tracking plugins
• you need a mature API for accepting/rejecting changes and cleaning content

When to avoid

• you need real-time collaborative editing with operational transforms or CRDTs
• your editor is not DOM/contenteditable-based (e.g., canvas or native mobile text fields)
• you need a fully maintained library with active development and modern build tooling
