The file(s) remain in the SharePoint folder until you assign a different Document Type to the file(s). This can be performed in Bulk Actions > Edit for multiple documents via the Case/Intake or Advanced Search.
To revert changes, return to the inactive Document Type, click the Active checkbox, and save your changes. The Document Type will reappear in all Cases/Intakes with the file(s) associated for this type.
