❗ Important
To use Rollback Actions, you need the Security Essentials license. Contact Support to obtain the license. Currently, this feature is available only for the Public Cloud customers.
Rollback Considerations:
You cannot rollback Teams if you delete it, add the same Teams (through auto-discovery or another method) while the deleted Teams resides in Rollback Actions, and try to rollback the deleted Teams.
When you delete Teams, associated SharePoint sites will also be deleted. Similarly, when you rollback Teams, associated SharePoint sites will also be rolled back. The associated SharePoint sites deleted will not be displayed on the Rollback Actions page.
