Q

Google Sheets and Docs save every single change. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H opens a timeline — and you can revert to any point.
A filter view filters data just for you — everyone else in the shared sheet sees everything unchanged.
Data separated by commas or semicolons crammed into one column? The Text to Columns wizard splits it correctly.
