====Revert====

The '''revert button''' appears if changes have been made to an [[objects|object]] at your current [[control levels|control level]], but the current [[control levels|level]] is not the owner.  Clicking revert brings up the Revert page, from which you can undo all changes made at the current level.  Values revert to the values inherited from levels above your current level. 

For formulas, the changes you revert are nutrient, ingredient, and ratio restrictions, as well any new ratios introduced at the current level.  You also revert any changes to formula attributes (like dry matter only, rounding type, and optimum density usage).   

For ingredients, the changes you revert are ingredient cost and nutrient values.  You also revert any changes to ingredient attributes (like ingredient type, rounding, or cost units).

Notice that even though ingredient costs may be changed in the [[Workbench]] while working on one formula, the change affects all formulas that include that ingredient at your current level (and perhaps have other descendant levels that inherit your level's cost).  Therefore, reverting a formula does not revert changes to cost.  Costs can be reverted only by changing the ingredient itself. 

Note that any single change can be reverted by simply blanking out the value and clicking '''Save'''.  The '''revert button''' allows you to revert all changes to an abject at once.

The '''revert button''' also provides a visual signal as to which objects have changed.
