# Revert a store to a specific commit point

`POST /{storeName}/commits`

Reverting a store creates a new commit point that refers to the same
state as an existing older commit point. In this way it is possible
to virtually roll-back a BrightstarDB store without discarding changes
made since.

## Path parameters

- `storeName` string, required

## Request body

- CommitPoint
  - `id` integer, required — The unique identifier of the commit point.
  - `storeName` string — The name of the store that holds the commit point
  - `commitTime` string, date-time — The date/time that the commit was made.
  - `jobId` string, GUID — The unique identifier of the job that created the commit.

## Response `200`

Success. The store has been reverted to the specified commit point.

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad Request. The commit point ID was not provided in the request body or the specified commit point could not be found.
