If I have to revert I create a child style first, make the changes on there, then export it and import it to overwrite the existing style.

All right, let me make sure I understand that correctly. I'll probably butcher it because I'll admit that I don't fully understand the inheritance associated with child styles.

Are these the steps you go through?

If you are going to have to revert a template which has modifications in it:

1. Create a child style off of your existing style (The child will have all the same options and templates as the parent)
2. Revert the template in the CHILD style
3. Manually update the reverted child template with all of your modifications
4. Test the child style to make sure you got everything
5. Download the Child style selecting "Get customizations made only in this style"
6. Upload the style overwriting your old style

If that is correct, could you explain to me what the "Get customizations made in this style and all parent styles " does?

Thanks for your reply. I'm always looking at better ways of doing it and using a child style has never occurred to me.
