The only section of the Developer tab that we are going to use will be the Controls.
![2019-09-29 20_12_37-Window.png](https://s3.k8s.kfs.es:443/docxmerge-prod/images/2019-09-29_20_12_37-Window.width-800.png?AWSAccessKeyId=kfss3&Signature=weVlPJhy7sM8QtVAAoe1k9O%2BXq4%3D&Expires=1722071229)

![2019-09-29 20_22_38-Window.png](https://s3.k8s.kfs.es:443/docxmerge-prod/images/2019-09-29_20_22_38-Window.width-800.png?AWSAccessKeyId=kfss3&Signature=v%2Bu9IV%2BqW13b%2B1JgO2h6ugtSSZ4%3D&Expires=1722071229)

![2019-09-29 20_23_56-Window.png](https://s3.k8s.kfs.es:443/docxmerge-prod/images/2019-09-29_20_23_56-Window.width-800.png?AWSAccessKeyId=kfss3&Signature=dRMASoC9%2B6oPcMCXqObb8eVVqBY%3D&Expires=1722071229)
In this interface there are the following options:
- If we want to upload changes to the current Word document, we just have to click on the Upload current document button.
- We can change the JSON and give it to render (since the add-in uses Internet Explorer, these downloads will come out in the downloads of this one)
We have a list of actions on the top right:
