To restore the contents of a workspace to a previous state,
you can replace the contents of a workspace with an existing snapshot.
Before you begin
You should be familiar with project
areas, configuration spaces, snapshots, workspaces,
and change sets, which are described in Management of shared design resources.
You
must be logged in to a Design
Management project,
and the project must contain a snapshot and a workspace. A snapshot
is a view of the project at a specific point in time.
If change
sets are associated with this workspace and you want to preserver
those changes, you must mark those change sets as complete.
Procedure
- Complete one of the following steps:
- If you are working in the workspace whose contents you want
to replace: from the banner in the upper right, click the Current
Configuration Context menu and select Open
Current Configuration.
- From a project dashboard, on the banner in the upper right,
click the Current Configuration Context menu
and select Explore Configurations; then navigate
to the workspace whose contents you want to replace.
- From any page in the workspace editor, click the Rebase icon
in the upper-right of the workspace editor.
- On the Rebase Workspace Configuration page,
select a snapshot to replace the contents of the workspace; then click Update.
- On the Update Resources page, differences
between the base snapshot and the current workspace are highlighted
in the Base and Current panes. Specify whether a change is copied
into the updated workspace:
- In the Current pane, click a delta, which is highlighted
in green. In the Base and Current pane, notice the elements that now
are outlined in red.
- To accept the change from the base snapshot, click the Apply
the change to the merged result icon in the Base pane.
- To accept the change from the current workspace, click
the Apply the change to the merged result icon
in the Current pane.
The Result pane shows the current contents of the workspace
as you replace its contents.
- In the Result pane, click the Commit merged
result icon. A change set is added to
the workspace to reflect the completed operation.
- In the workspace editor, click Save.
- Optional: Complete one of the following steps:
- To return to the Configuration Explorer view, click Return
to previous page; or, in the breadcrumb trail in the upper-left
corner of the page, click Configurations.
- To return to the Design
Management application,
in the breadcrumb trail in the upper left, click Design
Management.
To work in the updated workspace, select or search for the workspace
by using the Current Configuration Context menu.
Results
The contents of workspace are replaced with the contents of
the snapshot that you select.
