View Admin Unit Attributes & Restore Specific Versions

Before performing a restore, it can be helpful to see all the attributes that exist for an Admin Unit. Sometimes it may also be helpful to view and compare the object versions among different dates.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Follow steps 1-3 as described in Restore All or Specific Admin Units.
2. Click an Admin Unit's name to display more details about it:
   
3. Click the arrows to browse the different time points/version dates for the object. The version at the selected time point is always displayed..Red font indicates a changed value for that attribute:
   
4. If you already know which date's version you want to restore, click Restore This Version. 
5. Otherwise, click the “View Members” or “View Role Assignments” links: 
   • View Members: Displays the members of the Admin Unit.
   • View Role Assignments: Displays the roles that have been assigned for the Admin Unit. 
6. When you find the version you want to restore, click Restore This Version. 

Tips:

• You can select any day and time from the calendar to view the Members/Role Assignments of the selected time point. From there you can detect the timing of the changes, which will help you to choose the correct version date & time from the calendar.
• Changes to a List are recorded in the corresponding Log. (For example, changes to the Members List are recorded in the Members Log.) 
• If a List is empty, there were no Members/Role Assignments at the selected time. 

7. Click Restore This Version to start the restoration (or, click outside the window to close it).
