In Google Sheets, you can view the edit history of just one cell. To do this, right-click (or Control-click on Mac) the specific cell and select “Show edit history” from the context menu. This opens a dialog showing who edited the cell, when the edits were made, the previous and current values of the cell, and you can navigate through the changes with arrow buttons. This feature helps you track changes precisely for an individual cell without viewing the entire sheet’s version history.
Note that this cell-level edit history includes direct edits like content changes, formula edits, and link changes but does not show some changes such as row/column additions or format changes. The full version history for the entire sheet is also accessible but shows all edits collectively.
This “Show edit history” feature is built into Google Sheets and is on by default for all G Suite/Google Workspace editions since mid-2019, enabling easy tracking of collaborators’ changes at a granular level.
