Can I restore metadata directly from the metadata comparison results?

Yes!  Once you compare metadata against components of the same org, or a different org, you can continue on to restore metadata directly from the comparison results page.

To restore metadata directly from the comparison results page, follow these steps:

1. You must first perform a metadata comparison using the steps found here:
