### Summary I have been trying to figure this out for two days but I am completely stuck. I wanted to revert to a earlier snapshot of my island. But It is impossible to do so. After clicking on the button to revert builds it comes up with an error if i have no changes to check in - which stops the whole process. If i have changes to check in it checks them in but it stays on the current build and doesnt revert back to the build i want. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Unreal Revision Control ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Click on “Revision Control” 2. Click “Open Branch History” 3. Select the snapshot I want - press the sync to local copy button 4. Press check-in-changes 5. Changes are checked in but the version didnt. ### Expected Result After checking in changes when syncing the older version I should then see the old version appear. ### Observed Result nothing changes at all. ### Platform(s) pc ### Island Code 9457-2287-4190 ### Upload an image ### Video [![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/6/3/36305cd29421fc3bac83f4f4cccea2c861f1ad4c.jpeg "Revision Control issue ") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT-3dGOUoiU) ### Additional Notes ---

That doesn’t look good. Do you happen to have some logs for me to look at? `UnrealRevisionControl.log`and `UnrealEditorFortnite.log`from this editor session would be useful. ---

@BenCreates_FN I was hoping to receive the log files as `.log`files - not `.docx` You can zip your entire `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\Logs` directory. ---

Could you try: - Close UEFN. - Remove the `/.lore`and/or `/.urc`directory from your project directory. - Start UEFN. - Open project - This could take quite a while as it rebuilds your data directory. ---

Hey @BenCreates_FN - sorry to hear that this is still an issue for you. We have a new release of UEFN coming out today (41.00). It contains numerous fixes and improvements and might have solved your problem already. So let’s wait for that and try it out. If not, we should look into setting up a live session where we can assist you. ---
