Process Feedback - Writing Process Reports for Google Docs

Description

Free writing process reports for Google Docs · Students prove their own work · Teachers see edits, AI use, and copy-paste events 🏆 Used by 100,000+ teachers and students · 400+ verified reviews · Free for teachers and students Process Feedback turns the edit history of any Google Docs document into a detailed Writing Process Report. It shows the data users need to explore possible AI use, along with typing time, copy-paste events, revision patterns, and more. It is a free, research backed alternative to tools like Draftback, Revision History, and Grammarly Authorship, with rich process insights, privacy focused sharing, and support for teachers and students. For students: understand your own writing process and share it to show your learning journey. For teachers: see how students wrote, not just what they submitted. 📌 What is the Process Feedback extension? The extension reads the edit history Google already maintains for every document and turns the full writing journey into an interactive writing process report. It does not run in the background and collects no data unless the user chooses to share. ✨ Key Features ➛ Identify AI use timing and locations in your document's edit history ➛ Copy and paste events, including what was pasted and when ➛ Total typing time and typing fluency ➛ Revision vs. drafting time ➛ Break frequency and timing ➛ Author contributions in collaborative documents ➛ Teacher dashboard for managing and comparing multiple student reports ➛ Google Classroom integration ➛ Shareable report link and PDF download ➛ Multiple tabs support 👤 Who is it for? Students use it to reflect on their writing process and to prove their own work when academic integrity is questioned. Teachers use it to understand how students approach writing, identify who needs support before deadlines, and start honest conversations about AI use without relying on unreliable AI detectors. ✨ How is it different? Unlike AI detectors that guess whether text was AI generated, Process Feedback shows writing history that helps users explore possible AI use, review pasted content, and see how the document evolved from the first keystroke to submission. It is a free alternative to Draftback, Revision History, Grammarly Authorship, and Originality.ai, with rich process insights, better privacy, and no subscription required. Built on peer-reviewed research published in Education Sciences (2023). Used in 100+ countries. ⚙️ How does it work? The extension reads the edit history Google already maintains for every document.
