Tracking version history for your mailing list in Excel is crucial for maintaining data integrity, especially when multiple individuals update the file over time. If using Microsoft 365's Excel Online, the version history is automatically maintained and can be accessed under the 'File' menu, enabling you to see who made changes and when. For desktop versions, a manual approach of saving incremental versions with dated filenames can be effective. Alternatively, consider using cloud storage solutions like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox, which offer built-in version history tracking and backup capabilities. This allows for the recovery of previous versions in case of accidental deletions or undesired changes.
