Because a label is applied to the entire project, it is a convenient way of restoring a project in a single operation rather than restoring individual files. Restoring a label returns the packed versions of the files associated with a label to the vault as the newest versions of the files. By restoring a label, you can rollback a project should it be necessary to return to a previous milestone. For example, you can rollback the project to the versions of the files labeled as "Initial Design" if the project has strayed too far off course or if the files have to be returned to the last known good state.
All of the files associated with the label must be checked in before restoring the label. Even files checked out to the person restoring the label must be checked in.
When a label is restored, all of the files associated with the label are restored to the vault. You cannot choose which files within the label are restored. The label represents the project in its entirety.
If you cancel the restoration process, the files that have been returned to the vault up to that point stay in the vault. The remaining files associated with the label are not restored.
