  <title>Revert the state of a box</title>

  <p><em>Reverting</em> to a snapshot restores the state of the virtual machine
  saved in that snapshot. The memory state also gets restored, bringing back
  running programs and settings at the exact same state of the snapshot creation.</p>

  <steps>
    <item><p>Right-click on the box in the collection view and select
    <gui>Properties</gui>, or if the box is running, click the menu
    (<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/open-menu-symbolic.svg"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media>)
    button in the header bar and select <gui>Properties</gui>.</p></item>
    <item><p>Click the <gui>Snapshots</gui> tab.</p></item>
    <item><p>From the list, select the snapshot to which you want to
    revert.</p></item>
    <item><p>Click the gear button on the right and select
    <gui>Revert to this state</gui>.</p></item>
  </steps>

  <p>Changes made to the virtual machine since the snapshot was saved are
  discarded.</p>
