Activating and Restoring a Change
When you are working with a set of models available at any given change, that set of models is considered as an active model. By default, the user’s active change is the latest change in the main branch. Any change that may not be the latest on any branch can be selected and can be activated. Either a branch, change, or version on the branch can be selected and activated.
 |
In a collaboration session, the active change is highlighted in green color.
|
After activating, the change is displayed in view only mode.
To activate a change:
1. Open Collaboration History and right-click the change to be activated.
2. In the context menu, do any one of the following:
◦ For latest change, click Activate.
◦ For non-latest change, click Activate and View.
|
|
When activating a change, version, or branch, if you have models in the current session that are not yet saved, you will be prompted to save or discard those models.

Restoring an Older Change
You can select any change that is active but is not the latest on a branch and restore it to make it the latest. Before you perform the restore action, make sure no other user has locked any model in the selected change. The restore action fails, if another user locks any model in the change. The restore action impacts all objects within the change. On successful restoration all models within the collaborative session revert to their state at the time of this change.
1. In the collaboration history, select the change to be restored. In the context menu, select Activate and View.
2. The selected change is now the active change.
3. Select Restore from the context menu. The current active change is restored as the latest change in the main branch.

|
• The restore action is enabled only when the non-latest version or change is active.
• You cannot restore changes that are being modified and hence locked, changes from a different branch, or the first change that was created with the session creation.
