# Viewing and restoring dataset versions

Tonic Textual tracks each change to the dataset configuration.

You can view the list of changes to the dataset configuration, and revert the dataset configuration to a selected version.

## Displaying the dataset version history <a href="#dataset-history-view" id="dataset-history-view"></a>

To display the version history, click the clock icon at the top right of the dataset details page.

The **Version history** panel lists the versions in descending order, with the current version at the top of the list.

## Displaying details for a version <a href="#dataset-version-details" id="dataset-version-details"></a>

For each version, the **Version history** list initially displays:

* A summary description of the change.
* The timestamp when the change occurred.
* The name of the user who made the change.

To display additional details about the change, expand the version description. For example, for a change to the handling option for an entity type, the details include the entity type, the previous handling option, and the new handling option.

## Restoring a version <a href="#dataset-version-restore" id="dataset-version-restore"></a>

You can restore an earlier version of the dataset. When you restore a version, Textual reverts the changes that occurred since that version.

On the expanded description of a version, to restore that version, click the **Restore to \<version number>** button.

Textual adds a version to the history. The new version is marked as **Restored**, and the description indicates the version that you restored.

The expanded details for the version list the changes that Textual reverted when you restored the earlier version.
