It's one file — a verifiable record you control.

col·o·phon /kŏl′ə-fŏn″/ noun

An inscription placed usually at the end of a book, giving facts about its publication.

A colophon is a section of a book that describes the technical and production details of how the book was created, including printing methods, materials, typography, and contributors.

Is Colophon an AI detector?

No. Colophon does not try to guess whether text was written by AI. Instead it gives students and teachers a verifiable, timestamped record of the entire writing process — every keystroke block, paste, and AI interaction. A percentage score can be disputed; a timestamped edit history can be checked against the document itself.
