Version history
Version history helps you understand changes and recover earlier synced content.
Open history
- Open a synced document.
- Open the files sidebar and choose Version history at the bottom.
- Select a timestamp to inspect that version.
Versions are created automatically as document changes sync; there is no separate manual version-save action.
Compare versions
Choose Compare with previous version beside a history entry to view the differences. Comparison and history loading require a connection because the versions come from cloud history.
Restore a version
- Select the version you want.
- Review its content or comparison.
- Choose Restore and confirm.
Restoring creates a new current state; it does not silently erase the history entry you restored from. Wait for the status indicator to confirm the restored document has synced.
Free and Standard have metered history allowances; Premium has an unlimited history quota. See the live meter in Settings → Subscription and Plans & limits.
If history is empty, confirm the document is cloud-synced and online. For status problems, see Offline & sync troubleshooting.
