<h1>Restoring a saved configuration</h1>
<p>A previously saved configuration (or any configuration recorded in the history)
can be restored, thereby backing out of the results of an unsuccessful upgrade.
Restoring a saved configuration does not delete the files for feature and plug-in
versions from the local computer; it merely ignores them and acts as it did
when they were not present. To restore a saved configuration to be the current
configuration:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the main update manager by clicking <b>Help &gt; Software Updates &gt;
Update Manager</b>. This opens the Install/Update perspective.</li>
<li>In the Install Configuration view, expand the Saved Configurations (or
Configuration History) item and select the desired configuration. Click <b>Restore</b>.</li>
<li>Click <b>Yes</b> when asked to exit and restart the Workbench for the
changes to take effect.</li>
<li>Expand the Current Configuration (and children) to confirm that the
current configuration now matches the configuration saved earlier.</li>
</ol>
