I am looking for a way to see what users (if any) have viewed a particular document in google docs? I know that there is a revision history, but is it possible to see which users have viewed it without making any changes?

The only thing that I can see that is somewhat relevant is the ability to sort documents by 'Last Viewed' which obviously shows the last viewer.

You can turn on analytics support and try to associate a viewer to an IP address

Cheers for the idea. I will do this, however I'm not sure how easy it will be to associate ip addresses as the document has multiple collaborators. – JT.WK Jan 26 '10 at 21:08

No, this feature does not exist in GoogleDocs

Explain the downvote? The feature is not officially supported. Analytics can help, but, if you have more then a few users it probably won't be useful and requires guess work. – Dan McGrath Jan 25 '10 at 7:05
