# trackChanges.get

> Retrieve a single tracked change by SuperDoc logical id.



- Member path: `doc.trackChanges.get(…)`
- Mutates document: no
- Idempotency: `idempotent`
- Supports tracked mode: no
- Supports dry run: no

## Expected result

Returns a TrackChangeInfo object with the logical id, semantic type/subtype, state, target, before/after snapshots, author/initials/email, date, revisionGroupId, splitFromId, replacement or move side metadata when applicable, story locator, excerpt, optional overlap metadata, and source provenance via `sourceIds` / `wordRevisionIds`. Structural whole-table changes surface subtypes such as `table-insert` and `table-delete`.
