How do I use git extensions to view an old version of an Excel file from it's history
I'm trying to view/open an old version of an Excel file using git extension but can't seem to find an obvious way to achieve this!
So I viewed the "File History" as outlined in the docs: https://git-extensions-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/file_history.html#view
But I can only see garbage in the viewer due to this being an excel file as seen below.
I'd appreciate any advice on a straight forward was to view or open this old version of the Excel file from within git extensions.
Solution
You should be able to download the old versions so that Excel itself can be used for review. Try right-clicking on any of the entries in the file history window and choosing "Save as".
