I mean, this is what Office 365 does - and pretty well: collaboration and versioning.

  Versioning is good for restoring backups, it’s hard for seeing changes over time. I recently worked on a word doc with four other collaborators. Someone inserted a footnote. Looking through versions it took me 10 minutes of sifting through the dozens of versions (auto save creates new versions very frequently) to find who and when that section changes. I wish there was a git blame for office. I also wish the old day of “checked in” versions where I could set a number and a comment.

      Track changes can’t be turned on and off to replay versions. There is compare document, but it takes longer and is one version at a time. Blame goes through the entire history of a file.
