Hello everyone,
I need to know how to make changes to the firewall configuration, and being able to rollback if something goes wrong. I am new to this product, please excuse me.
I see that I can save "revisions" and on the other hand I can also make backups. Is it possible to make a change, and then use the revisions to go back to the previous state, or how can I accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.
First, before making any changes take a configuration backup, just in case.
Then, create a revision and make the changes you need . If you need to make changes just rollback to the revision you created.
I hope this answer your questions

Thanks!
I will use the revisions feature then, after backing up.
