+# Reverting changes
+
+_**Note:** This feature was [introduced][ce-1990] in GitLab 8.5._
+
+---
+
+GitLab implements Git's powerful feature to [revert any commit][git-revert]
+with introducing a **Revert** button in Merge Requests and commit details.
+
+## Reverting a Merge Request
+
+_**Note:** The **Revert** button will only be available for Merge Requests
+created since GitLab 8.5. However, you can still revert a Merge Request
+by reverting the merge commit from the list of Commits page._
+
+After the Merge Request has been merged, a **Revert** button will be available
+to revert the changes introduced by that Merge Request:

+
+---
+
+You can revert the changes directly into the selected branch or you can opt to
+create a new Merge Request with the revert changes:

+![Revert Merge Request modal](img/revert_changes_mr_modal.png)
+
+---
+
+After the Merge Request has been reverted, the **Revert** button will not be
+available anymore.
+
+## Reverting a Commit
+
+You can revert a Commit from the Commit details page:
+
+![Revert commit](img/revert_changes_commit.png)
+
+---
+
+Similar to reverting a Merge Request, you can opt to revert the changes
+directly into the target branch or create a new Merge Request to revert the
+changes:
+
+![Revert commit modal](img/revert_changes_commit_modal.png)
+
+---
+
+After the Commit has been reverted, the **Revert** button will not be available
+anymore.
+
+Please note that when reverting merge commits, the mainline will always be the
+first parent. If you want to use a different mainline then you need to do that
+from the command line.
+
+Here is a quick example to revert a merge commit using the second parent as the
+mainline:
+
+```bash
+git revert -m 2 7a39eb0
+```
