The Real Meaning of Revert

‚Revert‘ doesn’t mean ‚reply‘.

I often read sentences like:

• Please revert with the details as soon as possible.
• Feel free to revert.
• Please revert back to me if you have any questions.
  

Have you seen sentences like these. Or do you use the word incorrectly?

‚Revert‘ means ‚to return/go back to a previous state‘.

Here’s an example:

Michael said his boss became increasingly depressed and reverted to smoking heavily.

I hope that helps!
