Introduction

There are occasions when you may find it necessary to revert a file stored on Google Drive back to an earlier version. This could be due to various reasons such as accidental corruption, unintended edits, or simply preferring the content or format of a previous iteration. Fortunately, Google Drive offers built-in functionality to help you manage such scenarios. By utilizing the version history feature, you can easily browse through the different versions of the file that have been saved over time. This enables you to identify the specific version you want to recover. Once identified, you can restore it, effectively making it the current version of the file. This process helps ensure that important data is not permanently lost and provides a convenient way to manage document revisions and changes. So if you want to restore a previous version of a file you can use Google Drive’s revert to earlier file versions feature.
