I have a Google Docs document that I want to share, but I don't want to retain the revision history when I do so. What's the easiest way to go about this?

This is a very good question. Often people in an org can sniff around doc history to see what the author was thinking on earlier revs.
A way around this (not elegant) is to make a copy of the doc using File --> Make a copy...
This copy will have the most current content and will start history fresh. Then you can delete the original one, rename the new one, etc.

1That works. It'd be nice if I could just push a button to hide the history, though. Ah well. Oct 6, 2010 at 21:18

This does not solve the problem if someone else is owner of that document. At this time there is no way to delete the history. Just workarounds.– dwichMar 19, 2016 at 10:42
