Is there a way to track total editing hours per book or user?

Hi everyone,

I’m using Pressbooks in a collaborative publishing project, and we’re trying to estimate the total editing hours spent by each contributor on a given book. Is there any built-in feature or plugin that can log time spent editing or track active user sessions per book or chapter?

This would really help us with project planning and resource reporting, especially in academic environments where time tracking matters.

Any suggestions or workarounds (even WordPress-level solutions) are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jhonn,

Thanks for your question!

It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but the built-in KoKo Analytics tool in the admin panel can show you the number of “user revsions” over time, which could be a useful metric, basicallty showing how many revisons a particulat user has made.

I hope this helps! Maybe others in the community will have additional suggestions as well!

Best,
Seyed
