Restoring policies to a previous version

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.7.x

Occasionally, you may find that the latest policies do not suit your needs. For example, a content classifier that was deleted by the update was used in one or more of your policies. You'd like time to modify your policies before installing the latest updates.

If necessary, you can restore your policies, classifiers, and file types to their previous version.


	Warning When you restore predefined components to a previous version, all current policies, classifiers, and other elements are overridden. When you restore a policy that was customized by Forcepoint, all changes you have made to other policies since you installed the custom policy are reverted, and all action plans created since that time are deleted.

Restore policies to a previous version on the Settings > General > Policy Updates page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager:

In the table, select the From Version to which you want to revert.

Click Restore in the toolbar at the top of the content pane.

Click OK to confirm the selection.

The system restores policies and classifiers to the selected version and date. Progress indicators show whether components were restored successfully.

Click Close. The summary screen shows the date the policies were restored, the version you moved from, and the version you moved to. See Viewing your update history for a description of this page.

You cannot restore policies from an older product version. For example, if you are running Forcepoint DLP v8.4 or later, you cannot revert to policies from TRITON AP-DATA v8.3.
