Delete history in Google Excel sheet

Copper Contributor

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

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.

Hi @MariaErrico1 

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