Delete Google Sheets Revision History or Edit History
Google Sheets doesn’t offer a dedicated option to delete the edit history. Instead, it is automatically removed after some time. So, if a client has access to the sheet with edit permission, they can easily access the version history. Fortunately, we do have a possible workaround to delete Google Sheets edit history. You can do it by creating a copy of the sheet. The new copy will only show the current version’s data- it will not contain any previous revision history. How do you access version history? You can do it by clicking on File > Version History > See Version History.
Steps to Remove Edit History from Google Sheets
That’s it. A new sheet will now be created without any previous version history from the original document. You can verify the same by clicking on File > Version History > See Version History. You can now share this new sheet with the people you want without worrying about them seeing your edit history. You can also delete the old sheet if you want to.
