The answer is the Revision History feature. This is the correct choice because Revision History automatically stores every previous version of a policy package, enabling an administrator to perform a FortiManager rollback policy package revision history operation to restore an earlier configuration state. Unlike the Install Preview, which only displays pending changes without altering the deployed policy, Revision History directly supports reverting to a specific historical snapshot. On the Fortinet NSE 7 Advanced Security NSE7 exam, this question tests your understanding of FortiManager’s administrative lifecycle tools; a common trap is confusing Install Preview’s change-logging function with the actual rollback capability. Remember that Revision History is the undo button for policy packages, while Install Preview is just a read-ahead mirror. Memory tip: think of Revision History as a time machine—it lets you travel back to any saved moment, whereas Install Preview is merely a rearview mirror showing what’s coming.
