1. An electronic device, comprising:
a storage device; and
logic, at least a portion of the logic implemented in circuitry coupled to the storage device, the logic to:
retrieve a document at a first instance for editing, the document being in an initial status, corresponding to a first state of a blockchain, maintained by a blockchain network;
generate a first change in the document, wherein after the first change, a status of the document changes from the initial status that corresponds to the first state of the blockchain to a second status;
send, to the blockchain network via a local network, the first change for storage in the blockchain as a second state, derived from the first state;
retrieve the document at a second instance when the document is in a third status, the third status including a second change, performed subsequent to the first change; and
link to the blockchain to retrieve a third state of the blockchain, the third state comprising the first change and the second change.
