so you're writing a long report in
Google Docs and you suddenly realize
that you accidentally deleted a
paragraph a few minutes ago does that
mean you have to type it all over again
no it doesn't Google Docs saves every
change you made to your document through
a feature called version history this
led to restore your document to the
exact moment you desire copies
sections and determine who made certain
changes
to access version history you can click
the save notice at the top of the
document or go to file version history
see version history now you can browse a
number of different versions until you
find what you're looking for you can
also click show changes to show or hide
changes made by you or any other authors
that can help make things a little
easier to read to restore an earlier
version click restore this version at
the top of the screen then confirm your
choice keep in mind these should only
restore a version as a last resort
because you're going back to an older
version you'll lose any newer changes
that have been made since then
version history is also great for when
you collaborate with other authors if
someone has made changes since you last
saw the document the see new changes
notification will appear when you return
once you click and review the changes
the notification will disappear
you can also name a version if you want
to keep track of a specific draft click
the dots next to the one you want and
select name this version
once you name it it should be easier to
find you can also filter to only show
named versions if you like you can also
use version history and other google
applications like sheets and slides
using the same method we just covered
then you can correct mistakes or review
changes across a variety of applications
