Reverting to a saved experiment

Overview

Sometimes you might decide you want to throw away all the changes you made since you opened a file. For example, you might be editing the wrong file, or perhaps you added some more animals to an experiment and now you've changed your mind. Whatever the reason, it's easy to revert to the saved copy of a file; you just need to switch to the File page and select Revert to saved experiment from the menu on the left.

Details

When you revert an experiment, the changes you made since the file was last saved are irretrievably lost - no backup is made.

If you are using the option to save experiments without ANY-maze asking for confirmation (described in detail here), then the ability to revert is very useful, because if you simply close a file, ANY-maze will automatically save it - so if you don't want to save the file, you should first revert the file and then close it.
