Do not listen to the low reviews on this extension; all of them are about the price (or are probably written by spiteful students). I am an ELA teacher that has been trying to fight the good fight against unethical use of AI in the classroom. I have gone as far to limit chromebook use as much as possible, and this extension makes me feel like I can trust students again. Does it stop them from retyping everything? No. Does it stop them just copying and pasting a whole essay? Yes. This is an integral tool in the modern teacher's toolbelt. And the price, ~$40 a year? Yeah, I'll pay it. If you don't pay, just use it on students/essays you suspect and the 150 UNIQUE essays will be plenty. Thank you for this tool.

This has been a super helpful tool as a teacher to ensure academic integrity.

This app is good for monitoring student drafting, however, once it became a paid subscription it has become very limited. I would like to print off the revision history to have documentation of cheating and plagiarism. I am no longer able to print this off.

Was a great app, but once they started charging for it it became unusable and annoying.

This app is very limited, and you can only see very few things with this app. When I just want to view a doc, it just already counts as a doc. I wish that when we want to see the revision, then it counts as a doc.

Hi all -- Buzz here, CEO of Revision History. We're fixing an ANNOYING sign out bug by EOD that will stop Revision History from constantly signing out every time a new doc loads. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for bearing with us!

Very helpful in monitoring student writing progress and catching cheating. The development/support team is always quick, friendly, and helpful when I've got a problem, too!

Fantastic extension that allows me to see where my students might be having trouble in the writing process. There is no real way to stop students from cheating if allowing them to work digitally on their own, but it's also incredibly difficult to promote good writing practice if requiring students to work on their writing only during class hours (or through hand-written pieces only). Instead, I've found that using Revision History allows me to help them understand the accountability a bit more, and it forces them to work harder to cheat. At some point, it becomes more work to avoid learning and improving as writers, and this app supports that approach. The developer is very receptive to feedback and has made several improvements (multi-tab history, for example) to this already very useful tool.

Revision History has literally changed the way I grade written work in my ELA classes. The program is truly revolutionary and has effectively reduced/eliminated instances of student plagiarism. I am able to show my students the power of Revision History and how I am able to use it to verify the authenticity of student work. After demonstrating to my classes what Revision History is able to do, my students simply do not even bother to plagiarize anymore, as they understand how quickly they will be caught. To the teachers/reviewers complaining about having to pay for a subscription: get over it. I will happily pay the $5 monthly fee (less than a single cup of Starbucks per month) for the peace of mind Revision History brings and the countless hours of aggravation it saves. I hope the creators of Revision History make a fortune off of this program.

Such a good tool for assessing student writing. Being able to see how much time students are spending on the writing process is useful to determine who needs one on one help. Easy to see when and how often students are copying in information, makes it easier to see if they are using someone (or something in the case of AI) else's work. I also get a lot less pushback from parents if I can show them the replay of their student copying in work. The replay function is also very useful to review the editing process with students and see where they can improve. I'm telling all my fellow teachers about this extension.

This is one of the most helpful tools I have when assessing student writing. Being able to see how much time students are spending in comparison to what they produce is great, and knowing what has been pasted in from other sources helps identify plagiarism/inappropriate AI use. Keep the new features coming!
