Reverting an Item or Stimulus Lane to a Previously Saved Version

When a review lane is in an editable state, you can revert to any previously saved version using the revert button Revert button.

When you revert, the latest item-stimulus associations are always preserved, but all other content within the lane and sub-lanes, including item-item associations, gets reverted. You can edit the item-stimulus associations in the Associations lane as explained in Adding Item-Stimulus Associations.

  1. In any editable review lane, click the revert button Revert button. The Content Reversion window appears.

  1. If you’re reverting from the item or stimulus template review lane, then select a version from the Choose a Template dropdown list. For other lanes, this dropdown is disabled.

  2. Review the available versions in the Version Overview section, which displays a tree of nodes. You can click the nodes to collapse or expand their child nodes.

Nodes belonging to the latest version are highlighted in green and nodes belonging to older versions in yellow. A lock symbol appears on the left side of a node that is locked, for example, the Template node at the highest level in the hierarchy.

  1. In the Click Tree Node to Select Another Version section, which displays a tree showing the selected version with the same color coding, click a node to select a different version of that node from a menu. A detailed summary of the proposed reversion appears below the two sections.

  1. Review the version numbers, dates, timestamps, and comments or summaries on the selected versions to make sure you’ve selected the right ones.

To view a long comment or summary in the Version Overview section, hover over it.

  1. Optional: At the bottom of the window, select the Alternative Save Comment? checkbox and enter a comment to include on the revert you’re saving. For example, you could write, “Reverted a mistaken edit” and paste in the detailed reversion summary for reference.

Leaving a comment can be useful for tracking and communicating changes. (Note that comments do not appear in the Comments panel of the item.) If you don’t leave a comment, the detailed reversion summary is used.

  1. Optional: To reset the selections in the Click Tree Node to Select Another Version section, click Reset.

  2. Click Proceed. The Content Reversion window closes, and a new, reverted version saves. If you wish to revert again, all other versions will still be available.

To view all an item or stimulus’s versions, including any reverts, refer to Version History.
