Bottom line

No. Google Docs version history can show changes made inside that file, but it cannot prove where all drafting happened. A sudden paste or thin history may justify a conversation, yet it also fits ordinary explanations: drafting offline, writing in another app, copying from notes, or moving work between devices.

1

Version history has a narrow scope

Google Docs can show edits to a document, but it does not record every idea, note, offline draft, or external writing step.

2

The same pattern has innocent explanations

Pasted text can be a student moving their own work from another file, device, notebook, or drafting tool.

3

Pair it with better evidence

If AI use is alleged, the stronger review is drafts, notes, citations, writing process, and whether the final work matches the student.

Do you have evidence of a university policy or technical study establishing a zero-draft history as definitive, sole proof of AI plagiarism?
