# Undo a changeset

`POST https://studio.grid82.app/v1/apps/{appId}/changesets/{changesetId}/revert`

Replay a bundle's operations in reverse through the normal permission compiler; undoing a delete recreates the row only if you could create it.

Updates restore only changed fields, preserving edits to other fields; if someone changed the same fields, refuse and identify them unless `confirm: true`, which overwrites their changes. Record the revert so reverting it undoes it. Only bundles of record creates, edits, and deletes are revertible; the list marks each `revertible`. Refuse comments, saved views, pages, and app SHAPE changes up front with the reason: restoring a definition would run its migration in reverse, and a returning column loses its contents. Restore deleted fields or tables, and columns converted by a type change, from the trash with `trash.restore`, including values. Undo all restorable rows in one transaction; list rows deleted since in `skipped` rather than failing the rest.

Requires the `records:write` scope. Operation `changesets.revert`. MCP tool `changesets_revert`. CLI: `grid82 changesets revert` (`npx grid82`).
