History and Versions

Reviewing how your students' work changed and progressed throughout their writing process is very helpful in understanding which areas of writing they may struggle.

Luckily, you can easily check this using History & Versions on Scribo Writing!

On the Scribo Writing homepage click on a writing activity and you should then see your students' work in this activity. In the top portion of the teacher support panel, you can click on History.

This feature will show you the different changes that have been made in your essay either by your student or by you.

You can click on any of these changes to check what the essay looked like when these changes were made and open comments you left on your students' work.

You can also click on Show Score History to see how your score changed with every major revision of the essay.

You can look at the graph to see if the quality of writing improved or declined. All scores you were given throughout the writing process can also be seen below.

If you would like a better view of all the different versions of the entire essay, you can click on Menu button in the top portion of the writing support panel,

then select Versions.

Here you will see all the different versions of the essay throughout your students' writing process.

By default, Scribo shows you all the versions of your work that had major revisions or changes. If you would like to check versions for every minor revision, simply click Show Minor Revisions on the menu at the top of the page.

You can click on Versions List if you would like to quickly check a specific version of the work,

or you can select a date to check what the essay looked like on that day.

If you would like to retrieve an older version of your students' work, simply click on the version you'd like to restore and you will see a comparison of this version with the current essay.

To retrieve the old version of the essay, simply click the Restore button on the menu at the top.

There you go! History & Versions make it easy to check and understand your students' writing process.
