That helps to see the history, and i did some of my own testing...
In my testing, i types 3 words, then waited a few seconds, then deleted them and typed in 3 new words...
The first 3 words did not show in history.
Then i did a new test, again typing 3 words, then waiting 1 minute, then deleting them and typing in 3 new words.
The first 3 words showed up as being deleted, with strikethrough and highlighted blue, with the new text appearing below (even though it was typed into the same postion of as the first 3 words.
This may be due to being a "new paragraph" rather than an edit within a paragraph.
Heres a screenshot:
When i check your file version history i can see some words were overwritten.
Heres a screenshot:
Your edits show "in-line" before the new text.

Hi Geoffrey Love,
The edit history saves intermittently, and does not save every keystroke as a separate edit.
If you type a single letter, and wait for the edit to be save, then you can wait a few minutes, and reload the document then check the edit history to see what has been saved as that uploaded edit.
The edit history does not discriminate where the edit was done in the document. It doesn't matter where you type, an edit is an edit.

Hi Geoffrey Love,
It's a pleasure to assist!
Also, I learned in the process that overwritten text will not show as a separate edit unless waiting at least 1 minute so that a new end time allow entry as a new edit.
Also, your feedback is very much appreciated.
Have a great day/night wherever you are, and post again soon!
