Reverting Modified Source Control Files—Subversion

If you have modified files from source control but do not want to keep your modifications, use the "Revert" option instead of committing the files. While committing the file would save changes to source control, reverting a file returns it to its previously committed state and does not commit any of your new changes to source control.

How to Revert a Source Control File

1. In one of the window panes (e.g., Content Explorer, Source Control Explorer, File List, Project Organizer, Pending Changes window pane), select the relevant file(s).
2. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

   • Ribbon Select Source Control > Revert (for selected files) or Source Control > Revert All (for all files in the project).

   • Right-Click If you have the Content Explorer, Project Organizer, Pending Changes window pane, or File List open, right-click the files you want to revert and select Source Control > Revert (for selected files) or Source Control > Project > Revert All (for all files in the project).

   The Revert dialog opens. The selected files are listed with check boxes next to them.

3. (Optional) If you want to see all files with pending changes (rather than only those you selected), click .
4. Make sure to click the check box next to each appropriate file so that it contains a check mark.
5. Click Revert.
