Description

I have a use case where it would be helpful to use gspread to compare changes before and after a revision change.

It looks like the Drive API supports retrieving previous revisions of a document.

Could you add this feature request to be able to load a sheet from a previous date.

Research direction
Investigate the Google Drive API revisions endpoint and how to integrate it with gspread to retrieve previous sheet revisions. Look at existing Drive API client libraries and examples.
