View Version History

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

Open the history

1. Open a rich-text document.
2. Open the More menu in the document header.
3. 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 expand its text diff. Added lines and removed lines are shown separately; long changes are shortened so the history stays easy to scan.

Version History is a record of changes, not a list of restorable snapshots. It currently helps you inspect what changed but does not replace the document with an older version.

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