Revert an object

If you checked out the wrong map or topic, or you want to start over, you can choose to discard all changes and revert to the previously-saved version instead of checking in an object.

If you have an object checked-out, a Revert button appears for that object in Map Editor or Topic Editor depending on the object. There is also a Revert icon (Revert icon) for the object on the My Assignments page.

Reverting enables you to discard your most recent work on the object, and restores it to the version when it was last checked in.

To revert an object:

  1. Do one of the following: :
    • On the My Assignments page, click Revert icon.
    • While in Map Editor or Topic Editor, click Revert.
    • For a topic while in Map View, click Revert icon .
  2. In the dialog, select the I understand checkbox.
  3. Click Revert.

The object is checked in and becomes unlocked. Your changes are discarded, and the object reverts to the last saved version.
