Restore (Rollback) Structures

Overview

Fusion Metadata Registry records all modifications to structures and makes this information available to the Agency who owns the structure.

The structure modifications can be viewed in the details section which is displayed below the table of structures once you select a structure as shown below.

An alternative approach to view structure modifications is to use the left-hand menu to navigate to the Activity-> Structure Submissions page. This page shows the modifications made to each structure, and includes structures which have been subsequently deleted from the system. As the Structure Submissions page contains deleted structures, it is possible to perform an undelete operation from this page. Click here to read more about this feature.

Rollback functionality is also available through the REST API function. Click here to read more about this feature.

Rollback

Clicking the Compare option will open the Compare page in a new Browser tab.
