Google Docs Version Control

To revert to an earlier version of your Google Doc, you can use the version history feature. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your Google Doc: Go back to the document you were working on by navigating to Google Drive or directly opening it through your recent documents.

2. Access Version History:

   • Click on the “File” menu at the top left of the screen.
   • From the dropdown menu, select “Version history”.
   • Then, click on “See version history”. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + H on your keyboard (Windows) or Cmd + Option + Shift + H (Mac).

3. View and Restore a Previous Version:

   • A panel will appear on the right side of the screen showing all the versions of the document saved by Google.
   • Click on the version you want to restore to see a preview of that version.
   • If that’s the version you want, click the “Restore this version” button at the top of the screen.

This will revert your document to the earlier version. If you only want to copy certain parts from the previous version, you can do so by simply copying the text from the version history preview and pasting it into the current document version.
