Do you frequently collaborate on Google Sheets or find yourself constantly updating data in the same spreadsheet? Keeping track of changes and avoiding errors can be challenging. But fear not! Google Workspace’s Edit History tool is here to save the day. Available for Docs, Slides, and Sheets, this powerful feature allows you to monitor modifications made to your files.
In the past, the Edit History feature only allowed you to view changes made to the entire file. This meant that undoing a single modification without undoing all the associated changes was not possible. This limitation could be frustrating, especially for Sheets users who frequently make small edits to different values.
Fortunately, Google Sheets has expanded its Edit History functionality to include not just the entire spreadsheet, but also individual cells. Now, you can review the edit history of a specific cell, confirming or debunking suspicions without repeatedly pressing “Undo” and risking losing your work.
How to View Cell Edit History in Google Sheets
To view the edit history of a cell in Google Sheets, follow these simple steps:
- Open the Google Sheets spreadsheet you wish to examine.
- Click on the cell for which you want to view the edit history.
- Right-click on the cell. From the appearing menu, select “Show Edit History.”
- To view individual changes, use the arrows in the “Edit History” pane that appears.
With this handy feature, you can now review the edit history of each cell in chronological order, starting from when the cell was created. If you have doubts about a particular data entry, you can check the edit history of the cell in question, confirming or dispelling your suspicions.
