Why does my doc show one entry in Version History?

Google Docs groups edits into Version History entries by time. A new collapsed entry starts only after about 30 minutes with no edits to the document. Everything typed before that gap is one entry, however long it took.

Auto Typer's short breaks (a few seconds to a few minutes) are much shorter than that, so one run shows as one entry. That's how Docs works for everyone, not something Duey does.

What doesn't start a new entry: reloading the page, closing the tab and opening it again, or a short pause. Only the time without edits counts.

What does: a gap of 30 minutes or more with no edits, or a different person editing. Click the arrow next to an entry to see the smaller versions inside it.

Want more than one entry? Turn on sittings before you start in Google Docs. Auto Typer splits your text at paragraph ends and waits between the parts with the doc open, so each part becomes its own entry:

• Duey: Write in 2 sittings, with a break of 35 minutes between them.
• Duey Pro: up to 4 sittings, with a break you choose (31–120 minutes).

Keep the tab open and the computer awake until it finishes.

Want the work spread over days? Sessions type on a schedule over hours or days, so the history shows one entry for each stretch of writing.

To see the entries for yourself, replay the doc: the bands under the slider are its Version History entries.
