Rolling back changelist actions

You can rollback changes to undo actions performed when changelists were committed. Actions can be rolled back individually or all at once. For example, if you checked in several files when committing a changelist and then needed to rollback all the files, you can rollback the changes to undo them instead of rolling back each file.

Before you rollback changes, you can review information about the actions performed, resolutions available when rolling back, and potential conflicts. The actions you can perform depend on the rollback status and your security permissions. See Rollback changelist action resolutions for information about why actions will or will not rollback.
