TeXposit provenance is a cryptographically signed record of who wrote what: deterministic, not probabilistic. Attribution comes from the actual edit history, not from statistical analysis.

Generating a Report
Open the project in the editor. Select Edit → Provenance. The panel has two tabs:
- Reports: list of existing reports with preview on the right. Click Generate Report to create a new one. This also recompiles the document PDF with metadata tied to the report.
- Source View: the document itself, colour-coded by author. Hover to see who wrote a segment and when. The history dropdown lets you step back through any past revision.
Sharing & Submitting
When submitting your work, attach the provenance report PDF or share the Report ID (10-character code like M7KX2AQPNR) alongside your document.
For reviewers: Direct them to app.texposit.com/provenance where they can enter your Project ID or Report ID, or upload the PDF, to confirm the report integrity.
For journals with API integration: The verification endpoint returns structured JSON (HMAC validity, contributor breakdown, word stats) for automated triage.
