Oy... You ever make some changes to the underlying data columns in a spreadsheet and then not realize that it inadvertently messed up a whole bunch of other pivot tables and charts as a result? Well, I just did... Fortunately, the Google Sheets revision history feature is pretty darn good and just saved me from having to do a bunch of annoying fixes. Thanks, Google!

I did not know they have a revision history. That is nice!

They've done a nice job with it! Can get to it via File > Version history > See version history or the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl + Alt + Shift + H (on Windows that is, not sure for Mac).

Will show you things like who made the change and color coding to call out the update.

I kid you not, but whenever I do anything klutzy in real life (knock over a mug, bang my shin on something, etc.) I mentally try to hit Ctrl-Z. Sadly, it never works... ;-)
