<header> (Header)

This element is essentially a table that contains metadata about a list of specific changes that have taken place for this workbook. It lists when the changes were made, who made them, and the relationship IDs so that the log detailing the specific change can be found. If tracking changes, or sharing workbooks, are enabled, then changes are persisted on the Save event, or at a specified time interval. A <header> is created for each set of changes.
