Undo: How To Revert An Edit
Everyone makes mistakes. That is a common fact of life. Here at Discogs, we understand that sometimes steps were taken out of order and now there’s an edit on a release that should have started with a Copy To Draft.
Fear not! It’s not the end of the world! Thanks to the Revert function, you can quickly undo that accident. Once that sinking feeling subsides, head into the release history via the edit button on the page.
Scroll up until the most recent Edit Release event before the accidental one. On the right side of the page, there will be a Revert button. Clicking this will load the submission form with the edit that was made prior to the accidental one.
From here, explain why the incorrect edit was being made in the submission notes, hit the preview button, then submit and bam! The submission has been reverted to the state it was prior to the last edit.
Hmmm – maybe it’s just me… Sometimes I am missing the revert button – no matter how hard I try to locate it. Usually it does not show up for the last edit which was made – and so far I have not found out what I’m doing wrong… Any idea ? Regards, Joe
“Revert” should be called “Revert To”. It gives the incorrect impression it’s only reverting a particular edit, when in fact it’s actually reverting TO a particular version.
