This is a really important piece of software... I would really like it... if it worked. It doesn't show up in my extensions browser. At all. Tried several times to install, uninstall and try again... just doesn't appear. Could really be good though... if it works.

It doesn't show up in my extensions, despite downloading, deleting, and re-downloading the extension. Why won't it work?

It only shows the last person who edited the form. If more than one person has worked on it, you will only see the most recent.

THANK YOU Martin Hawksey FOR MAKING THIS add-on! I was unaware that the history wasn't available until it was tooooo late... Thank you for taking the time to make a stellar add-on and for taking the time to do a live session to explain it...Brilliant, truly brilliant.

Google Workspace has a revision tool for Google Docs and Sheets but nothing for Google Forms. This add-on makes it easy to keep track of revisions, make backups and review copies of my form from the convenience of the sidebar. Great work Martin.

THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! Martin has found a gap in what Google offers and allows us to finally have version history in Google Forms. This is a MUST MUST HAVE!!!
