Draftback

Description

The archaeology of great writing

Draftback lets you play back the revision history of any Google Doc you can edit. It’s like going back in time to look over your own shoulder as you write. Notes:

  • With Draftback, your data is kept entirely private. Draftback was purposely designed so that you could play back your own docs without having to share them with a third party. This is -your- data; Draftback just lets you see it in a new way.
  • Draftback only needs access to docs.google.com to get the revision data for playback—but that data never leaves your own browser.
  • New!: It’s now possible to extract any part of a doc’s playback and embed it on the web. (This, of course, makes that extract accessible to the public.)
  • Draftback has been tested with large documents, but you may run into trouble with REALLY large docs. If that happens, shoot me a note ([email protected]) and I’ll try to get to the bottom of it.

This is a great resource for teachers who want to see the evolution of a student’s writing when using Google docs.
