Reverting a Module or Individual Item
- Derek Batting
Problem
A module, entry, map, image or other item has been manually changed or become corrupted and needs to be restored to its original state.
NOTE: Reverting a module cannot be undone. All edits on the entire module, or individual items, depending on which solution you use below, will be lost. Proceed with caution and make sure you have the right item when reverting.
Revert Entire Module
Solution 1 - Revert Entire Module and All Changes
Make sure the module is loaded in the Module Activation window.
You can load it by going to Library → Modules → Activation → click Load on the module you want to revert. For this example, we are using the Rise of the Drow - Collectors Edition adventure module.In the Modules window, right-click on the module you’d like to revert and select Revert Changes from the pop-up menu.
Upon selecting Revert Changes, a confirmation window will pop up. If you intend to revert changes, click the Checkmark button to confirm. If you wish to cancel the reversion, click the X button to cancel.
The module will be instantly reverted to it’s original state.
Revert Individual Changes
Revert Individual Changes Leaving Other Changes Intact
NOTE: The process shown below for Solution 2 is the same for Story entries, Images, Encounters, Items, NPCs, Parcels, Quests, Tables, and much more. Almost any entry that has been edited and/or altered from its original state (shown in the image below) can be reverted to it’s original state.
Reverting with the Menu
Continuing with our Rise of the Drow - Collectors Edition adventure module as an example, three Story items in the module have been edited. This is denoted by the inline “Revert” icon. Other unchanged entries have plain book icons.
To revert a single entry with the menu (in this case, the middle entry), right-click on that entry and select Revert Changes from the radial pop-up menu.
Upon selecting Revert Changes, a confirmation window will pop up. If you intend to revert changes, click the Checkmark button to confirm. If you wish to cancel the reversion, click the X button to cancel.
The entry will be reverted instantly. You can visually verify this by the fact that the revert icon on the right has changed to a book icon.
Reverting With The Inline “Revert” Icon
To revert a single entry with the inline “Revert” icon, click on the icon next to the entry you wish to revert.
Upon selecting the inline Revert icon, a confirmation window will pop up. If you intend to revert changes, click the Checkmark button to confirm. If you wish to cancel the reversion, click the X button to cancel.
The entry will be reverted instantly. You can visually verify this by the fact that the revert icon on the right has changed to a book icon.
