Reverting a full project to a specific revision

Hi,

I'm trying to use the built-in SVN to revert a full project (folder and subfolders) to a specific revision. Right clicking a file, choosing "source control" and then "Revert using SVN" brings up the SVN log that enables choosing a specific revision and Revert. Can this be done for a full project?

Thanks

Hi @Avi Zohar,

You can try leveraging the terminal for this purpose. First navigate to the root of your project

cd <path to root of the project>

If you have the revision number of the version you wish to return to, use the "svn merge" command to revert to this revision version

% The "." reverts all the files to that specific revision number
svn merge -r HEAD:REVISION_NUMBER .

Commit the changes to the repository to finalize the revert

svn commit -m <Commit Message>

If you wish to use the MATLAB GUI to revert the changes, refer to the following documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/work-with-files-under-svn-in-matlab.html#:~:text=and%20Revision.-,Commit%20or%20Revert%20Changes%20to%20Modified%20Files%20under%20SVN%20Source%20Control,-Before%20you%20commit
