Version History in Google Docs

Dear Readers,

I am not sure how many of you are using Google Docs, but i use it often to share some documents with my friends. It has many great features which i will try to cover in my blog if i get time. As i always say Google's long time goal is to use only internet as like your Personal PC. You no need to carry anything, everything will be in your account online.

Taking "U" turn to our topic, Google doc team has recently introduced this feature. We can now view the saved previous version of our documents and jump into it if we need to goto previous version. We can also compare the difference b/w various versions. Let's see how.

1. Login to Google Doc
2. Open any saved document and click on File-->See Version history (As shown below)
3. You will be taken to new screen where you can see the various version of your documents. You can see what changes you have made either by clicking on the hyper link or by comparing with different versions.
4. To compare the content b/w various versions, select any two or more versions and click on the Compare button below. It will give you the changes that are made with respect to the selected versions.
