def GetItems(self):

Return Value

List of DocumentHistoryItem that contain the modifications or changes that occurred in this document since it was created or since the last baseline (clear).

Remarks

DocumentHistory manages the history of the document. It can be accessed through the History property of LEADDocument. It contains an internal list of DocumentHistoryItem objects for each modification or change that occurred in the document.

The items can be retrieved, updated or cleared through GetItems, SetItems and Clear respectively.
