Rolling back to a previous version

Rollback allows you to create a new version based on a previous version, which then becomes the current version, or select a previous version as the current version and delete all versions created after it.

Before you begin

To rollback to a previous version of an item you must have rights for the item you want to rollback (for example, Component Management rights) and write permissions for the containing Folder or Structure Group. It is not possible to rollback if the following conditions apply:

  • the item is a shared item
  • the item is checked-out
  • the item is in Workflow
  • only one version of the item exists
