Reverting to the Saved Version of a Document

The Revert command lets you discard changes made to a document since it was last saved. This is the same as closing the document without saving changes, and then opening the original from disk.

Be certain that you want to discard all changes to a document before choosing the Revert command, because you cannot use the Undo command to restore your work after using the Revert command.

Keep in mind that you can use the Save As command to save a document with a new name. If you are not certain that you want to discard changes to a document, use Save As to store a new version on disk, then open the original document and compare the two.

To Revert to a Document’s Saved Version:

  1. Choose File | Revert.
  2. Confirm that you want to discard all changes.
