Revert to Basis

For each selected element, this command removes all changes you've made since the last time you Promoted it, or since the last Update of the workspace -- whichever is more recent:

•	File elements: this includes both content changes and namespace changes.

•	Directory elements: this includes namespace changes only.

•	Link elements: this command operates on the link itself, "undo"ing changes you've made to the specification of the link target. For example, you might have changed the link with the defunct or rename commands. Or you might have used Copy / Paste to point the link at a different target directory.

The selected elements become inactive in the workspace (they are removed from the workspace's default group). The status of the elements becomes (backed).

Tip: When you invoke this command in a dynamic stream, the depot's pre-promote-trig trigger fires. This is because, like a Promote, the command changes which version of the element appears in the stream.
