NOTES:
- While data preparation operations are reversed/deleted using the Change History panel, table transformations are reversed/discarded by clicking on the drop-down arrow located to the right of the transformed table and then selecting Discard Transform from the options that display.
- When the table you want to manipulate has errors (e.g., broken change list, invalid or missing source file), the application will display the following message: "This table has one or more errors. These must be fixed before proceeding. Make sure to address these errors before proceeding with transforming your data."
