Run this javascript code with the document open in the browser: https://codeberg.org/dullbananas/google-docs-revisions-downloader/src/branch/main/googleDocsRevisionDownloader.js

Usually this is possible by pasting it into the Console tab in developer tools. If running javascript is not an option, then use this method: https://lemmy.ca/post/21276143

You might need to manually remove the characters before the first { in the downloaded file.

Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.
