Point in TimeRoll back all of the documents to the version at the specified time.DateTime
WindowWindow parameter is used for performance optimization: since revisions are not sorted by date, we stop the revert process when hitting a versioned document outside the window.long (default: 96 * 3,600)

For example when reverting to the point in time of 16/03/2019 09:55 UTC the following rules are applied:

  • Documents modified after 16/03/2019 09:55 UTC will be reverted (by creating new revision) to latest version before 16/03/2019 09:55 UTC.
  • If collection has maximum revisions limit and all of them were created after 16/03/2019 09:55 UTC the oldest revision will be used.
  • Documents created after 16/03/2019 09:55 UTC will be deleted and moved to Revisions Bin.
  • Remaining documents will not be modified.
