Sorry, I don't understand what you mean sorry. Can you explain what you mean in a bit more detail?

hmmm perhaps you are saying that you don't wish to use the TeamSite GUI, you wish to get the previous version programmatically.

In that case, yes there is a CLT -- check out the TeamSite Command Line Tools manual for iwrevert.

Best of luck!

If the version you want was published in a named edition, and you have access to the TeamSite server's local files system - you can access the file by going through the path to the edition - e.g. /iwmnt/default/main/www/EDITION/ed_003/some/path/filename.htmlor: y:\default\main\www\EDITION\ed_003\some\path\filename.htmlIf the version you want is not known to be specific to a particular edition (and you still have access to the TeamSite server's local file system) you can use iwrlog to view the history of the file, and that will show you the "hidden" edition's name associated with the submit event for each particular version of a file - e.g.: iwrlog /default/main/www/STAGING/some/path
file /default/main/www/STAGING/some/path/filename.html

======================================================================Thus if I wanted version 4 of this file, I could access it as: /iwmnt/default/main/www/EDITION/#401/some/path/filename.htmlor y:\default\main\www\EDITION\#401\some\path\filename.htmlAll of this without changing the version of the file that exists within your workareas or staging (i.e. no revert)

If you want to revert the copy in a particular workarea, you could, as was suggested, use something like: iwrevert /default/main/www/WORKAREA/waname/some/path/filename.html main/www/4 and that will replace the version of the file in your workarea with a copy of version 4 identified as version 5+.

If you don't have direct access to the TeamSite server's local file system (i.e. you want to do this remotely from a client machine), you would either have to learn how to perform these operations through the CSSDK or create a client/server application which can perform these operations for you (the server part being on the TeamSite server and the client part being on your client machine) but it's probably a bit more involved than what I've already outlined (as you may have to deal with authentication issues, accessible ports, etc.).
