# Roll back deployments

Roll back a deployment to restore the latest versions of files in an area to the versions before deployment. Rollback removes the item revisions from an area and then automatically redeploys the item revisions that were there previously.

Note: Rollback is supported only in the OpenText Dimensions CM web client.

Before you roll back items, review the Deploy and rollback rules.
