AuthorViz

Color coding authors' contributions in a Google Doc

AuthorViz - Visualize Authors' Contributions on Google Docs

AuthorViz is an innovative Chrome extension developed by Hana Research Lab. It allows users to visualize and gauge each author's contribution to a Google Doc by applying color codes. The extension enhances the existing Revision-History feature by reflecting the complete history of the document, rather than just one revision. This provides a comprehensive view of authors' involvement in the document's final revision. Creators Trung Nguyen and Kenny Pham draw on accurate data from Google Docs to make this visualization possible.
