Delete history in Google Excel sheet

Dear all,

 

I recently created a google sheet to share with my colleagues, who are able to edit it (while I am the owner).

However, I would like to avoid them seeing the history of the file's versions.

 

Is this possible to delete the history (or make it unaccessible) maintaining the same link? I tried creating a copy of the file and the history does go away, but the link changes.

 

Thank you so much,

 

Maria

    Hi MariaErrico1 

    Yes, you can ask Google to give only access to saved and named versions

    I recommend you ask Google Forms, here is a Microsoft forum and it is about Microsoft products, especially Excel, where you have also submitted your question.

    Anyway, here is a small approach, without guarantee.

    I would be happy to know if I could help.
