Google Apps Script<\/strong>, Google<\/strong>‘s low-code development platform, continues to enhance developers’ experience by introducing a new feature today: Project History<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This new tool provides developers with the ability to view previously deployed versions of their scripts<\/strong> and compare them to the current version, simplifying the process of identifying changes.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we will explore how Project History<\/strong> in Google Apps Script<\/strong> is changing the way developers manage versions of their scripts.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”716″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”What Project History in Google Apps Script does” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Project History<\/strong> allows developers to view the code of previously deployed versions<\/strong> of their scripts. Furthermore, it offers the ability to highlight changes<\/strong> to quickly compare differences between the selected version and the current project version.<\/p>\n

Anyone with edit permissions on a Google Apps Script<\/strong> project can access Project History<\/strong>. To access it, simply open a Google Apps Script<\/strong> project and click on “Project History<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

The Project History<\/strong> page displays up to 200 previously deployed versions<\/strong> and the current project version.<\/p>\n

To compare a version with the current one<\/strong>, you can enable the “Highlight Changes<\/strong>” option.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”720″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

We tried for you Project History in Google Apps Script<\/h3>\n

Google<\/strong> plans to make further improvements to script versions in the coming months, making the development experience in Google Apps Script<\/strong> even more powerful. We’ve had the opportunity to test it, and currently, it’s a tool that shows promise but still requires additional enhancements.<\/p>\n

If you need complete control over the versions of your code, you may still need to rely on tools like GitHub<\/strong> (if you are interested in finding out how to use GitHub<\/strong> with Google Apps Script<\/strong> we have written an article<\/a> that might be right for you). However, this may change once Google<\/strong> Google releases new updates. Currently, the tool only displays versions for which deployments have been made, and unfortunately, Google Apps Script<\/strong> allows overwriting deployed versions with different code, which can compromise version control efficiency.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the tool currently does not allow you to restore previous versions of code<\/strong> in the compiler. Essentially, as of now, it is primarily a tool for showing differences between deployed versions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We eagerly anticipate future implementations and are excited that Google<\/strong> is investing significant resources in Google Apps Script<\/strong>. Indeed, a version control<\/strong> tool was a priority to implement.<\/p>\n

Rollout and availability<\/h3>\n

The gradual rollout<\/strong> begins on August 23, 2023<\/strong>, and may take up to 15 days<\/strong> to be visible to everyone.<\/p>\n

This feature is available to all Google Workspace<\/strong> customers and users with personal Google accounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h3>\n

This update represents a significant step<\/strong> for developers using Google Apps Script<\/strong>, offering greater transparency<\/strong> and control over the versions<\/strong> of their scripts. Project History<\/strong> simplifies the process of comparing changes and streamlines development work<\/strong>. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements in Google Apps Script<\/strong>‘s future.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
