Revision History
Every time Google Drive saves a document, presentation, or spreadsheet, a revision history is kept so that you can revert to an earlier version. To revert a document, presentation,
or spreadsheet to an earlier version, do the following:
1. Open your document, click File and select See revision history.
2. A revisions list is displayed on the right. Changes are color-coded for each collaborator.
3. Locate the version youd like to revert to and click Restore this revision. Now when you
or your collaborators open it, they will see the version that you have restored.
