I accidentally updated the password of an item and need to go back to the previous one. I sware there used to be a password history but can't find it anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

I am grateful to @madflute for revealing the answer. It took me about half an hour to find this answer, because I first looked in 1Password help, within the app, then posted to Twitter, then searched on the 1Password website, and then came to the forum, and went through a few variations in the wording for finding old passwords, until I finally found this message thread. Since the forum lists 134 pages of hits for 'Previous Passwords', it seems clear that this is a common problem. Is there a way to make this answer show up in Help within the app? And in a search on the 1Password website? Useful help links could save a lot of people a lot of time. There are half a dozen variations that people might search on, such as 'old password', password history, password archive (which is something else, but a user may not know that), deleted password, find older passwords, and so on. I notice that Help in the app can't even find the term that the app menu contains, 'Password History' (nor 'View Password History'). I have been doing my searches on a Mac, and I have version 7.9.5 installed.
I hope that the 1Password team can make it easier to find this essential function. Thanks.
