Revert a change

Revert puts a live change’s old version back on the site and sends the change back for review. Use it when a change hurt, or when the client wants the old wording back.

1Open the live change

Open it from Results, or from To do’s Done view. Its result card says how it has done so far; How results are read explains each verdict.

2Choose Revert

The dialog shows What goes back: the exact text that was there before, or that the field was empty.

3Confirm it

• If aeoo published the change, choose Revert on the site. The old version goes back on the website straight away.
• If someone put the change live by hand, put the old version back on the website yourself first. Copy old version helps. Then choose I put it back.

What happens next

• The change returns to Waiting for you, under Fix, marked as reverted from the site so it gets a check before anyone approves it again.
• Approvals given before the revert don’t count. The change needs approving again, by the client too when its rule asks for that.
• Measuring stops. The change gets no more check-ins until it goes live again.
• Activity records the revert, so admins can see who did it and when.

Review and To do shows where the change waits now.

If Revert is refused

The site changed after publishing

Someone edited the same field after aeoo published it. aeoo won’t write over their edit, so check the page and change it there.

Connect the website again

The site’s connection was removed. Connect it again, or undo the change by hand.
