# Reverting changes # Reverting changes
The new `Revert` button allows you to revert any changes introduced by a Commit or a Merge Request. _**Note:** This feature was [introduced][ce-1990] in GitLab 8.5._
---
GitLab implements Git's powerful feature to [revert any commit][git-revert]
with introducing a **Revert** button in Merge Requests and commit details.
## Reverting a Merge Request ## Reverting a Merge Request
After the Merge Request has been merged, a `Revert` button will be available to revert the changes introduced by that Merge Request: _**Note:** The **Revert** button will only be available for Merge Requests
created since GitLab 8.5. However, you can still revert a Merge Request
by reverting the merge commit from the list of Commits page._

You can revert the changes directly into the selected branch or you can opt to create a new Merge Request with the revert changes: ![Revert Merge Request](img/revert_changes_mr.png)

Please note that when reverting merge commits, the mainline will allways be the first parent, if you want to use a different mainline then you need to do that from the command line, here is a quick sample: After the Commit has been reverted, the **Revert** button will not be available
anymore.
Please note that when reverting merge commits, the mainline will always be the
first parent. If you want to use a different mainline then you need to do that
from the command line.
Here is a quick example to revert a merge commit using the second parent as the
mainline:
```bash
git revert -m 2 7a39eb0
``` ```
