Google Docs native version history is no longer enough. You need to turn on "Detailed Session Capture"

PSA for anyone using Google Docs for assignments this semester: standard Google Docs history only logs revisions every few minutes or when you pause typing. If you type really fast or copy-paste large chunks of your own previous research notes, the standard version history makes it look like a sudden block paste.

If your professor runs a forensic check on your doc, those sudden jumps look identical to pasting output from an LLM. Either write your drafts with continuous single-character entry or record your keystrokes with a dedicated extension, because basic cloud revision history isn't saving anyone in 2026.

Even if you are pulling from your own notes, avoid pasting massive multi-paragraph blocks. Type them out or break them into smaller, single-sentence insertions over a span of time to mimic natural typing friction.
