# Rollback an update job

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

If you want to revert the updates to records made through an update job, execute a rollback operation.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Data Management** > **Update jobs**.

2.  Select an update job that has been executed.

3.  Select the **Rollback** related link to revert the updated records.

4.  When prompted, confirm that you want to rollback the delete job.


## Result

The rollback job is executed immediately and the updated records are reverted to their prior versions. If you want to update the records again, create an update job using the same conditions, and then schedule the update job or execute it immediately.
