Summary

Analyze keywords

Revision History helps teachers see students' process when they write essays in Google Docs. It is meant to help teachers guide their students through revisions as well as to ensure that students are not just copy/pasting text from AI/LLMs/ChatGPT or other sources.

With Revision History, you can see:

How many edits students made to their essays
How long they spent writing
What snippets they copy/pasted
Watch a video replaying the document being written (NEW - in beta)

It also works with documents submitted to Google Classroom (as long as they were drafted in Google Docs).

This works as it is intended, but as a student, it feels like whenever you write, its like you're in a police state, I am being watched and I hate it.
