SetDocumentTextOnlyContent

# SetDocumentTextOnlyContent API

Updates the plain-text alternative content of the latest version of the specified document. The text-only content is a searchable plain-text representation stored alongside the binary document file. It is used for full-text indexing when the binary content cannot be indexed directly (e.g. encrypted or proprietary formats). Calling this API replaces any previously stored text-only content for the latest version.

Notes

  • This API always targets the latest version of the document. To update text content for a specific version, use SetVersionTextOnlyContent.
  • Line endings in contentText are normalized to the server format before storing.
  • Passing null or an empty string clears the previously stored text-only content.
  • The stored text content is used by the full-text search index. After updating, the document may need to be re-indexed before the new text becomes searchable.
  • This API does not modify the binary file — only the stored plain-text metadata.
