Draft Record can show which revision-save identifiers are present on paragraphs and their descendant markup in the inspected DOCX body. It cannot turn those identifiers into a complete, ordered account of how the document was written.
What the identifiers mean
Microsoft's Open XML documentation describes revision-save identifiers as values associated with editing sessions in which document components were last saved or modified. A paragraph can expose more than one such attribute, so this tool reports the set it finds instead of assigning the paragraph to a single known author or event.
Why the identifiers are not a timeline
Microsoft's documented Word deviation says Word generates these values randomly rather than as necessarily increasing numbers. Draft Record therefore does not sort them into a chronology or claim to recover when a passage was written.
The settings table is reported only as context
The package may also declare identifiers in word/settings.xml. Draft Record does not
count that declaration as body evidence. In the repository's reproducible fixture, the settings table
declares nine identifiers while the generated body exposes none; this is a same-tenant measurement,
not a universal claim about every generator or template.
What it cannot establish
What this cannot tell you
- Revision-save identifiers do not reconstruct a complete or ordered writing history.
- The markers do not identify an author or establish when text was written.
- A document with few or no markers is not evidence of wrongdoing; software and conversion paths differ.
- This is not an AI-detection result and cannot determine whether AI assistance was used.
