| <h1>Reverting to a previous install configuration</h1> |
| <p>As you install, upgrade, and uninstall software into your system, configuration snapshots are kept in a history. |
| Reverting to a previous configuration allows you to back out of the results of an unsuccessful install, upgrade, or |
| uninstall. To revert to a saved configuration:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click <b>Help > About</b> and then click <a class="command-link" href= |
| 'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.help.installationDialog")'><img src= |
| "PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <b>Installation Details...</b></a> to open a |
| dialog showing pages that provide more detail about your installation.</li> |
| <li>Click the <b>Installation History</b> tab to see a list of previously saved configurations. Selecting each |
| configuration will show you what was installed in that configuration. When you have found the configuration to |
| which you want to revert, click <b>Revert</b>.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>Yes</b> when asked to exit and restart the Workbench for the changes to take effect.</li> |
| <li>When you restart, you should see that the <b>Installed Software</b> page list matches the configuration that |
| you chose.</li> |
