Version History in Google Data Studio

Version history lets you view and restore previous versions of a report or data source.

Data Studio keeps a history of your changes in a report or data source. You can also save, view, restore and delete previous revisions of your report. You can also see the timestamp and the editor of that version.

Follow these steps to see a version history of a report in Google Data studio.

Select File > Version history > See version history (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H or ⌘+⌥+Shift+H), or
Click the dropdown selector next to the report name to See version history.
