… No proof she didn’t? What could possibly prove that?

Can you give me an example of this proof? And if so, is that something reasonable for a student to have?

Seriously, think it through.

If you write something in Word or an equivalent program, there will be metadata of the save files that shows creation and edit timestamps. If they use something like Google Docs, there’s a very similar mechanism via the version history. I actually had the metadata from a Word document be useful in a legal case.

Ok, and that’s proof of what exactly? That you made the file when you said you did?

Not to mention, you can set those to whatever value you want

I can see how it could be part of a court case, because it’s one more little corroborating detail. It doesn’t prove anything though

The edit history would show things like copy/pasting large blocks of text versus normally typed edits.
