Version History and Data Recovery

In this chapter we will explore Version History and Data Recovery. These features allow you to track changes made to a document, revert to previous versions, and recover data when needed. They are especially useful for preserving important information and managing the editing process effectively.

Version History and Data Recovery

Version history helps you see who made changes to the document and when, as well as restore earlier versions if necessary.

  • Accessing Version History:
    • Go to FileVersion historySee version history;
    • Or click the version icon in the top-right corner of the screen;
  • A panel will appear on the right side of the screen, showing all saved versions of the document;
    • Each version is marked with a timestamp and the author of the changes;
  • Click on the desired version to view changes. You can see which cells were modified and in which rows and columns;
  • To restore a version, click Restore this version in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Naming the Current Version

You can also name the current version to make it easier to identify in the version history.

  • Go to FileVersion history;
  • Select Name current version and enter a name for the version.

Automatic Saving

Google Sheets automatically saves changes, so you don’t have to worry about losing data. You can always return to a previous version of the document at any time. This is especially helpful for long-term projects where frequent changes occur.
