Version rollback
Normally, if you have multiple versions of a document under document control and delete the latest—leaving all previous versions intact—the previous oldest version once again becomes the latest version. This is called rollback. To ensure published content matches the content in the document manager, Hyper.Net accepts rollback events from any document management system and automatically removes a deleted version's publication and re-publishes the previous version.
SharePoint's method of rolling back to a previous version, however, has been implemented differently than what is found in many document managers. It is conservative in that there is no automatic (and perhaps unwanted or unexpected) rollback behavior. In SharePoint, to roll back to a previous version, you must explicitly Restore that previous version in its Version History. This creates a new major version.

When asked if you are sure you wish to replace the current version with the older version, select OK. A transformation request will be sent to Hyper.Net. Hyper.Net will then re-create the publication for the older version (including all of its configured renditions) and replace the current publication in the publication library with the re-created version. The version number of the publication will match the new version number in SharePoint.
