# Revert Endpoint Central Configurations

## How do I revert configurations that I have deployed?

### Description

You can revert only certain configurations that have been deployed. This document provides information required to revert configurations. You can revert configurations in the following scenarios:

- Assume that you have deployed a configuration to install a software application. You can revert and change it to enable uninstallation of the software application. You must modify the configuration by changing the following:
  - Operation type from Install to Uninstall
  - Type of package

    **Note**: The package must have an uninstall string.

- When you want to revert a configuration related to a security policy, you can modify the policy and change the settings as required. For example, assume that you have created a configuration to disable the option to change the wallpaper on the desktop of a computer. You can modify the configuration and change the policy to enable the option to change the wallpaper, before re-deploying the policy.

You can also revert the Secure USB and Firewall configurations.

### Steps

To revert a configuration, follow the steps given below:

1. Click the **Configurations** tab
2. In the **Configuration Name** column, click on the name of the configuration you want to revert
3. Click **Modify**
4. Make the required changes
5. Click **Deploy**

You have reverted and re-deployed a configuration. The settings will reflect in the client computers during the agent's 90-minute refresh cycle, during startup or during logon—whichever takes place earlier.
