How do I find the image of an element of a differential algebra in the cohomlogy?

Following the documentation on Commutative Differential Graded Algebras, I have defined a differential graded algebra C. I have some element xC, in degree 4. I can get a basis for the cohomology at degree 4 by

C.cohomology(4)

and generators for cocycles and coboundaries by

C.cocycles(4)
C.coboundaries(4)

How do I check if x is a cocycle, and if it is, what it is in terms of the basis of the cohomology above?

I'm not sure I used the right tags, feel free to edit.
