The regress
function is the easiest way to back out a change. One or
more files, can be returned to a historic state based on a
timestamp, change number or label. If preferred you can
check out historic file revisions manually, by selecting
the required revision from the CXInsight revision list and
selecting checkout from the right click menu.
Alternately you can create a new branch based on the
state of a branch at a previous time point. In CXInsight
this is achieved by creating a view which represents the
historic state and creating a branch with the
branch wizard.
The regress strategy is most suitable when backing out
an erroneous change, whereas the branch approach is useful
when the current state is correct, but maintenance must be
simultaneously applied to a historic version.
