Viewing/Discarding changes in an extension

I apologize for what seems to be a beginner question, but I'm a beginner. I created a new extension and positioned it, etc, but suddenly Tealium is telling me that an adjoining extension was updated (has a "Not Saved") next to it. That extension is a huge chunk of JS code that predates me. I was looking around in there, but didn't intentionally change anything in there. Clearly, I don't want to save any changes I may have inadvertently made. I can't find, however, how I tell Tealium to discard any changes in a given extension.

 

How do I do that?

 

Thanks!

@gelerind if you click inside the editor of a JavaScript extension, it automatically assumes you've made an update. If you're certain you did not, go ahead and save. I do not believe there is a way to revert a change for only one specific element, you would have to discard all changes, then come back and create your extension again.

I'm actually okay with that since it was a small extension. How do I discard all changes, @davidcreason?

 

Thanks!

Hello @gelerind. There is also a training series on Extensions if you are interested:

Thank you.

Remember to give me a kudo if you like my post! Accepting my post as a solution is even better! Also remember that search is your friend.

@gelerind closing the tab or browser window should do it. A pop up may appear asking if you want to leave the page. I believe logging out will do it as well.

 

Also, should you ever make a change that you did not intend or produces an undesired result, you can revert to a later version, provided you used the Save As option. Just click on the Versions tab to see all previous versions.

7 years later, there is still no way to do this. I need to refresh and start work over on 8 extensions that I have been working on; this needs to be solved ASAP.
