This seems like 5 years down the road this is going to turn into a horror story on HN, about "I went to this customer, and they had been running their entire company database on a single Google Sheet, and now are panicking because the secretary accidentally just deleted everyone from pay roll."
- cldellow 4y agoI'm not sure if I'm saying this seriously or not, but: no worries! In addition to its granular permissions systems which will now let you revoke the secretary's access, Sheets also has a robust backup and restore story built-in! Just click File -> Version history and rollback the offending change. (You can do a live preview of what the effect will be, to confirm you're rolling back the right change.) The problem Sheets has is that they built a tool that is too good :)
