Overview
To use this feature, proceed to the Reports/Case List and search for the case you would like to edit. Once you have found the case, select it to proceed to the Case Detail page. For more information on how to use the Case List, please proceed here.

Reverting Changes
Changes are made directly to the cases. When you make a change, CommCare submits a form to reflect that a change has been made to the case. The form is called the Data Correction Form so that it can be easily identified.
This form that gets submitted to alter the case properties can be found in two places:
The Case Details > Case History Section
...
The Raw Forms, Errors and Duplicates Report Section. Be sure to include the Normal filter
...
Selecting the form and then choosing Archive will revert the changes you made.
