Abstract
A document history interface provides a visual document history. In particular, document history application provides for tracking, storing and presenting events occurring over a document lifecycle to provide a robust interface for visualizing and accessing the document's history. In aspects, an interactive document timeline with a scroll control is provided to roll back through the document history. The interactive document timeline includes visual indicators for events that occurred during the document lifecycle, including but not limited to authoring events, communication events, and document branching events. A play control is further provided with the interactive document timeline such that a time-lapse rendition of events occurring over the document history may be displayed. In some aspects, upon scrolling to particular points along the interactive document timeline, legacy versions of the document may be saved as new documents.
