During the import process, the system creates restore points for your inventory. All imports are timestamped, so you can click on the Restore button to select a point where you want to return your inventory to.  

The restore button can be found at the top of the page, next to the import button we used earlier. Click on it to begin the restoration button.

When a backup is selected, your inventory is returned to its state prior to that time. Select your backup from the dropdown list of timestamps.
