Revert datasets to draft
In this guide
Overview
Revert datasets to their draft state at any stage in the workflow to make corrections or updates before continuing through the approval process. Use this option when you need to make significant changes or address issues identified during review. This allows you to address feedback, add missing information, or fix errors identified during review.
How it works:
- Datasets can be reverted from Completed, Validated, or Approved stages
- Published and Internal Only datasets cannot be reverted to draft
- For internal datasets, first approve them for publishing to move them to the Approved state, then revert
- Reverting sends the dataset back to the Draft tab where you can make edits
The following diagram illustrates which stages allow reverting to draft:
