Improve your teamwork with Tiptap's new Collaboration History.
Published October 10th, 2023 by @philipisik
The Collaboration History feature acts as a time machine for your projects. It logs changes, additions, and deletions made by every collaborator. The essence of teamwork is captured and stored, allowing backtracking to any snapshot of your document's timeline.
The technical benefits of Collaboration History include
- Detailed Versioning: Changes are logged automatically every minute, or manually at any time, with a timestamp, and a snapshot of the document's state. This granular level of detail facilitates precise tracking and auditing.
- Real-Time Synchronization: The Collaboration History is updated in real-time, ensuring that all team members have access to the latest version of the project, along with its entire history, at any given moment.
- Revert Functionality: A revert functionality allows for instant rollback to any previous version of the document, aiding in swift error rectification and decision reversals.
- API Extensibility: The extension comes with a well-documented API, allowing for seamless integration with existing systems and further customization to meet unique project requirements.
Getting Started
To get started, install the extension from our private registry using npm install @tiptap-pro/extension-collaboration-history @hocuspocus/transformer. This extension relies on our Tiptap Collab cloud service and requires a valid subscription to an eligible plan.

Looking for a self-hosted version of Collaboration History?
We plan to release a Hocuspocus Pro version of this feature for self-hosted users later this year. Join the waiting list, write us at humans@tiptap.dev.
Do you have a diff view feature?
We are currently working on a proof of concept for a diff view to compare two versions of a document and are evaluating the feasibility for an integration in version 2.
