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.

No sensitive information so did not make a copy but opened access. I think we may be using the terminology differently. When I say edit I am looking for lines through words and clear changes, when i type the paragraph and make changes while I type those change do not show however, the new paragraph does show as a highlighted item.

Please create a file that you can share publicly.

If you delete text then it will not highlight blue because it does not exist.
