You can undo changes to a customized record by reverting to an older
version.

## Procedure

1. View a list of version records for an object.
2. **Optional:** Compare the current version to the older version to ensure that you are reverting the desired changes.
3. Right-click the older version and select Revert to this version.  
   A confirmation dialog box appears.

   If reverting to this version results in data loss due to a database schema change, a warning message appears in the dialog box.
4. Click OK to confirm the action.  
   * The current version is marked as a previous version.
   * A new version record is added that duplicates the version that you selected in the preceding step. This new version is marked as the current version.
