View & compare script versions with Apps Script project history

What’s changing 

As we continue to improve the experience for Apps Script developers, today we're announcing project history, a new interface for developers to view previously deployed script versions and compare versions to the current script version. 


Developers can use project history to view the code of previously deployed script versions. The highlight changes can be used to quickly compare differences between their selected version and the current, or head, version, taking the guesswork out of determining what's changed. Anyone who has edit permission on an Apps Script project can access project history. To navigate to the project history page, open an Apps Script project and click Project History.

The project history page displays up to 200 previously deployed versions and the head version of the script.


To compare a version to the head version, turn on Highlight changes.



Additional improvements for script versions will be made in the coming weeks.
