Visualize the evolution of authors' contributions in a Google Doc

Description from store
DocuViz is developed by Hana Research Lab at the University of California, Irvine. It generates the history revision Visualization in a co-authored document on Google Docs. It color codes who edited what, when and where. Time goes from left to right. The darker color columns represent revision content; and the lighter color columns represent the links between columns. Extending the existing Revision-History feature within Google Docs, DocuViz shows the entire history in a historyflow view rather than the one-revision-at-a-time view. It can reveal the evolution of the document and the collaboration patters of co-authors.
Dakuo Wang and Jingwen Zhang developed the first version, and Kenny Pham is the primary developer for this plugin. HistoryFlow visualization is invented by Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg. We also thank James Somers for his advice on getting the accurate data from Google Docs without using the Google API.
You can contact Dakuo Wang ([email protected]) for further questions.

- (2023-06-01) Judith A: The idea is amazing, I tried it on a doc with fewer revisions (1700) and it worked, but on a bigger one (81969 changes) it seems to be stuck on loading mode. Does it actually word on big docs? Any alternative should that be the case? Thank you very much and congrats on this API!

- (2020-08-01) Caroline Fernandes dos Santos: Awesome google chrome extension. Congratulation, it is exactly what I was looking for.
- (2020-03-29) Ryan Kam: it looks great but it seems the DocuViz button always shows loading without the results demonstrated in the youtube video
- (2019-01-17) Ameer Khan: the extension is great, but does it work on slides?
- (2016-06-27) Doron Zinger: This extension is absolutely awesome. As someone who works with teachers and students, I find that it helps with accountability as well as getting a sense of the workflow individuals and groups have as they write.
- (2016-04-07) James Bowater: I would like a bulk version of this to auto save pdfs for a batch of docs

- (2022-04-30, v:3.8) Joe Moses: Character count
I'm wondering why you decided to count characters instead of words. As a writing instructor, I use word count as one way of measuring individual contributions to team-written documents, so word count as well as character count is good to know. - (2021-06-26, v:3.8) alexandra zakharova: DocuViz crashes or just shows the last month
Recently DocuViz has been showing only the last month of the revisions. Furthermore, it is unable to generate a graph for a document with 40000+ revisions. It simply crashes. Please help! - (2020-03-26, v:3.7) ppllooppyy ppllooppyy: person
I haven't downloaded this yet but i just want to know does this highlight things in the document with certain colors if it was typed by a specific person? - (2019-06-16, v:3.7) Francesca Gomes: Stuck on (loadingchanges)
The screenshots of this extension look fantastic--I'm a teacher, and it seems like this could really help me! But the DocuViz button at the top of google docs is locked at "DocuViz (loadingchanges)" and I cannot click the button. I have tried leaving it up on two different documents for several hours, and still nothing. Help? - (2019-04-12, v:3.7) James Norman: Issue Loading
Docuviz only loads 15 changes and then stops. - (2016-11-23, v:3.7) Eric Burton: capacity
Hi -- DocuViz is so much like what I've been looking for. I have an assignment every year where a whole class works on a script adaptation in the same document, and this can help me assess how balanced their efforts are. The only problem is that my classes are as many as 20 students each, and on one of last year's scripts the screen only shows as many as 14 students in the table at the bottom of the page. If I print, I can see 16. So I can't see everybody. Is there any chance the capacity will be increased at some point to handle more contributors? Thanks, Eric
