When managing your videos, you may want to undo edits or upload an updated version. The **Restore** and **Replace** options make this easy without affecting your analytics, registrations, or repurposing tools.

Did you go live accidentally another time? Fix it with restore.

## Restore Video

**What it does:**

Brings your video back to its original state (before trimming or edits).

**Example:**

You trimmed the intro of your webinar but later realized you need the full recording again. Restore will bring it back.

**Steps to Restore:**

1. Go to the **Videos** tab on Contrast  
2. Open the video you want to manage  
3. Click the **history/versions** icon (⟳) on the video player  
4. Find the version you want to restore  
5. Click **Restore** → your video will revert to its original version

## Replace Video

**What it does:**

Uploads a new version of your video (e.g., an edited webinar) while keeping all event data intact.

**Example:**

You edited your recording in another tool (e.g., to remove noise, or blur something).

Use Replace to swap in the polished version without losing registrations or analytics.

**Steps to Replace:**

1. Go to the **Videos** tab on Contrast  
2. Select the video you want to update  
3. In the video toolbar, click **Replace**  
4. Upload the new file.
5. The video will update, while all settings, analytics, and repurposing options remain the same.
