Replacing a version to roll back to a milestone

Before replacing a product version, compare parent baselines to view the differences between the two product versions.

If your team must roll back to a previous version, a comparison between the latest and an older version visually illustrates the products that are included or missing between the two versions.

About this task

Teams can use versions to roll back to a previous milestone for a number of reasons. For example, a car part might be recalled or an improved valve for a heart device might be developed, and a team might need to replace a faulty product or use a newer product.

When a team replaces a faulty product, the product might be included in one or more products. Likewise, when a team wants to use a new product, the product might be included in products that are old, current, and in development. Products are insulated, so replacing a version in one product configuration changes it in that one product configuration only.

Procedure

  1. To compare products, you can compare the baselines that they are members in. Right-click an older version and select Compare with Latest Baseline.

    Check the differences and similarities between the child products to be sure that the older version is the one you need. See Comparing product configurations.

  2. In the product tree, right-click the latest product and select Replace Version.
  3. In the Replace Version dialog box, look at the version choices. Double-click a version to replace the current one.
