.. index:: Configuration sets

The LinOTP server saves each configuration set before activating the configuration. 
To activate a configuration you need to go to the tab ``System → Save Settings``. 
This tab will show you, which parts of the configuration were changed. 
You may give an optional tag for this revision of the configuration set.

The button ``Save and Activate`` will save the configuration and activate it.

You may restore any previous configuration set from the tab ``System → Restore Settings``. 
Choose a previous revision. The revision will only get loaded into the management interface. 
Then you need to adapt it and ``Save and Activate`` this loaded revision, which in turn will create a new current revision, 
thus keeping track of your configuration without any gap.
