Revert Database

  • Last UpdatedNov 26, 2025

Revert Database initiates a new session that instructs the system to ignore one or more previous sessions without deleting them. Additionally, in E3D, revert can be used to restore specific elements within a database. Refer to Revert Elements.

For example, to REVERT the database to session 134, a new session 137 is introduced that ignores sessions 135 &136 and displays the data as it was presented in the database session 134.

Session 132

User Date Time Comment

Session 133

User Date Time Comment

Session 134

User Date Time Comment

Session 137

User Date Time Comment

Present session
Not yet saved

This functionality is available only via the command line.
REVERT <database name> TO <session number/stamp/time date>

In the example, the revert will appear identical to users, displaying the same earlier versions of the data. If database session 137 is backtracked, sessions 135&136 will be reinstated.
