Google-drive – Tagging a Google docs revision

google docsgoogle-drive

Is it possible to "tag" a Google doc revision? Similar to tagging a revision in a source control system.

I'd like to continue working on a document, however I'd like to log which revision of the document I have sent to a client in the past. I'd prefer not to have to save lots of different versions.

So there is a clear distinction between the last revision they had seen and what has changed recently.

I've had a search around and can assume it's not a feature, but I wonder if anyone has written a script to do something similar.

Google just added a "named versions" feature to Google Docs. Google Docs always kept copies of previous versions but now you have the ability to name them.

[...] open a document, spreadsheet, or presentation. At the top, click "File" and then "Version history" and then "See version history". In the right panel, click a timestamp to see an earlier version of a file. You can see the people who edited the file, and the changes they made in the color next to their name. Optional: To name a version, click "More actions" and then "Name this version". To see edits in more detail, go to the right panel, choose a version, and click the Arrow Right arrow.
