# Revert normalization in the workspace

You can revert the normalization of discovery models in the Software Asset Workspace.

## Before you begin

Discovery models with a status of **Normalized**, **Partially Normalized**, or **Publisher Normalized** revert to the status of **Match Not Found**. Discovery models with a status of **Manually Normalized** and discovery models that have been normalized using pattern rules cannot be reverted.

Role required: sam\_admin or sam\_user

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Software asset** > **Software Asset Workspace** > **License operations** > **Discovery models**.

2.  Select a discovery model record.

3.  Select **Revert Normalization**.

    Once the revert normalization process is complete, fields are reset to their original values and any rules associated with the software discovery model are deactivated.
