How do I back out a change?

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.
