Revert Saved Changes in Database
The audit log includes a Revert Changes button, which allows you to revert previously written-back updates, enabling users to safely restore records to an earlier state. In case of incorrect changes, you can easily undo them with this option.
Just select the required change(s) from the audit log and click on Revert Changes. The updates are rolled back to their previous state.
Key Highlights
Users can select one or more UPDATE entries and revert them to their previously stored values.
Reverts are only supported for UPDATE records. Deleted, restricted, or rows awaiting approvals are skipped with relevant messages.
If a record has been updated multiple times, the earliest modification among the selected items for that row will be used for reversion.
Any changes made after that oldest modification will be reversed.
The reverted state becomes the new current version.
If a record has been deleted after an update, revert is not allowed. EDITable excludes it during validation and shows an error message in the confirmation preview.
The confirmation preview displays old vs. new values, validation status, and excluded rows before proceeding.
After verifying, you can click on Exclude Errors and Revert to exclude the errors and revert the changes.
Every revert operation is recorded as a new entry, which includes the action type, user information, and reverted timestamp. The old entries are also kept intact for complete traceability.
Revert is not permitted for records in approval processes, Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD), or when the source row no longer exists.
