Roll Back a Document

You can roll back a document to a previous version only if the document is checked in. Rollback replaces the current document content with the content of the version you selected for rollback. Rollback also creates a new version of a document. For example, if the current version of a document is 10 and you roll back to version 6, the Developer creates a new version number of 11 with the content from version 6. This new version of the document becomes the current document.

Note: You can roll back a document only if there is more than one version in the history and the document is checked into the server.

To roll back to a previous version:

1. Make sure you are working online.
2. From the Library or Outline Editor, select ONE document that is currently under version control and one that has more than one version.
3. On the Document menu, choose History.
4. Select a version of the document to roll back to. You might want to view the document before you perform a rollback to ensure that it is the version that you want since a rollback cannot be undone. You cannot view module and section documents.
5. Click Rollback to create a new version of the document. A comment is automatically provided to identify the document version that you rolled back to.
6. Click Close.
