View Version History

Version History shows how a document changed over time. Use it to understand recent edits or review work from collaborators.

Open the history

Open a document.
Open the More menu in the document header.
Choose Version History.

The history opens in a panel beside the document. Changes are grouped by time and show the person who made them, when they happened, and counts for added or removed content.

Select a change to see the text that was added or removed. Long changes are shortened to make them easier to scan.

You can review changes here, but you cannot restore an older version of the document.

New documents may have no entries until their first edits are recorded and synced.
