Google Docs has a quick method for returning to a document’s past.

On the right side of your document, you’ll see a dated and color-coded rundown of each version of your document. Click on one of the versions, and the changes that were made will be shown in your document, marked with that color.

If it’s a shared document, the color coding will also track who made which changes . And if you hover over the color-coded part of the document, the person’s name will appear there as well.You can’t actually add to or edit the document while on the version history page. To go back to editing, you have to hit the back arrow in the top left to return to your current document.

If you’ve truly fouled up your document and want to go back to the way it was several hours or days ago, find the version you want to return to in the right column, click on it, and then look for theTo the right of each version in the list are three vertical dots; click on them to either restore that version, name it , or make a copy so you’ll have an editable copy of both that version and the current version of the document.
