Docs AI - Restore to earlier version

Several times already, I needed more than a few prompts in Docs AI until I got to a result which … well, didn’t work. In such cases, I could only revert to a previous step, which obviously wasn’t the point I wanted to get back to. The dumb way I could think of (without losing the added data but restoring to earlier formulas and views) was to prompt my way back to the earlier version. This took a lot of frustration and prompting just to go back to what I already knew exactly how I wanted it. After an hour of attempts, I restored an earlier version of the doc and copy-pasted the formulas and rearranged the views manually.

This was in a trial doc. But I suppose the same struggle will be even more extreme in an actively used document.

If there is a way to restore to earlier points (even just within that same 24 hours) would be of great help.
