Folder Rollback

AlGaspar · Post by **AlGaspar** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 3:03 pm

I have a user that wants to rollback a folder to last Friday (Feb. 23, 2007). I haven't had to do this before; so I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly.

From what I can understand:

1. I should use Show History to Get a copy of the folder as it was on the 23rd or before.
2. Then, Check Out the current version of the folder.
3. Then I should copy my Get over the top of the checked out version
4. Then, I should check it back in.

Is that correct, or is there a simpler/better way?

Thanks--

Vault doesn't support folder rollback, so yes, this would work.

Could I also just do a label for that date and branch at that point? Would one way be better than the other?

Thanks

It depends on what you want to do going forward. You can get by label or by version, or you can branch from a label or a folder version (if you view folder history by version).

Do you want to continue work in that folder, but "rollback" or do you want to branch and create a different folder to continue development?

If that code is important to you, I'd label it so it's easy to identify and get in the future. Then you can decide to Get or Branch, etc., from label or version.
