Copy Row and Cell History

js@mod

Hi all - when I Copy Row into another sheet a lose the Cell History. Does anyone know if that is working as designed? Per the below link I thought the cell history would be preserved? Probably too much to hope for :-).

Thanks very much

The history for cells in the row will still be available (right click a cell and click View Cell History, where you will see "Row was moved from another sheet").

Hi @js@mod

The cell history will be preserved if the row is moved to the new sheet, but if the data is copied over but the original row is still in the source sheet, then the cell history stays with the original row and the surface cell data is what's copied over.

In looking at the Help Article, I agree that this could be clarified a bit better, and I'll pass this feedback along to our Help Center team, thank you!

Let me know if this makes sense or if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

Genevieve

Thank you so much Genevieve! This is great (preserving it on the Move row) and no additional questions. :-)
