Rolling back files

Rollback files to revert to a previous file version without affecting file history and version numbers. Changes made to the file are discarded. The version number increments even though the contents are the same as a previous file version.

For example, the current version is 5 and you rollback to version 3. After the rollback, the new tip version is 6. Version 3 and version 6 have the same contents. When you rollback a shared file all the shared files are affected. If you only want to change the file in the specified repository break the share then rollback the file.

  1. Select the file.
  2. Choose Activities > History.
  3. The History dialog box opens.

  4. Select the file version you want to rollback to and click Rollback File.
  5. The Rollback File dialog box opens.

  6. Enter any comments and click OK.
  7. The file is rolled back to the selected version.

    Note: Notice the version number increments by one and a check in action is added to the file history.
