The Details Templates Editor does not contain an Undo button, nor can you use a keyboard shortcut to undo an action. To undo an addition you made to the template, you must use the DELETE key. To undo a deletion, you must reapply the setting. You can also revert to the original settings by exiting the Details Templates Editor without saving your changes. If you want to undo changes after you have saved, you can restore the template. When you restore a template, all customization is lost, and the template is restored to its original configuration. This topic explains how to use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or the Exchange Management Shell to restore a details template to its default configuration. 

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Also, before you perform this procedure, be aware of the following:

  • In the release to manufacturing (RTM) version of Exchange 2007, you must add the Details Templates Editor snap-in before you can perform any other details template management tasks. For detailed instructions, see How to Add the Details Templates Editor to the Microsoft Management Console.

  • In Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can access the Details Templates Editor from the Toolbox node in the Exchange Management Console.
