Index History
-
An index revision is created for any change made to the index definition.
-
By default 10 index revisions are kept. This number can be modified using the Database Settings view or through configuration.
-
The Index History dialog allows you to browse these revisions and revert the current index definition to any of its past revisions.

You can revert only the 'Map and Reduce' methods or the full index definition.
