Undo changes in a stream or project

In the Visual Studio IDE, you can roll back the delivery of files and folders to a Dimensions CM stream or project.

For example, you deliver changes but discover problems in the code and decide to remove the changes. Undo creates a new changeset with the reverted changes that preserves the full history.

Guidelines for undoing changes:

• This operation requires the same privileges as deliver.
• This operation undoes an entire changeset, not individual item revisions.
• The original request relationships are not undone.
• This operation makes changes only in a repository and does not affect the items in a work area.
• After completing an undo, to synchronize your work area with the repository, run an update.
• You can run undo at any location as long as the changeset does not affect items further up the hierarchy.
• You can undo only a single changeset.
• If items in a changeset have more recent changes in a newer changeset, you cannot undo it.

To undo the changes in a project/stream:

1. Do one of the following:

   Action	Description
   To undo an entire changeset	In the Dimensions Projects view, right-click a stream and select Changesets.
   To undo a specific set of changes	In Solution Explorer, right-click a folder and select Folder Changesets.

2. In the Changesets dialog box, right-click a changeset and select Undo Stream/Project Version.
3. (Optional) Select requests to relate to the change, and add a comment.
4. Click OK.
