It depends what you mean by "get back to previous versions". 

If you have baselines from an earlier point in time, you can load those to view the entire set of (now unchangeable) artifacts from that point in time, and compare them to current. Use the Configuration Context menu to specify which configuration (stream or baseline) you want to see.

If you created another stream of requirements, the two streams evolve in parallel and you can switch between them.

At this time, you can't roll back changes in a stream to revert artifacts to a previous version. However, if you have a baseline with the desired versions, you can branch a new stream from the baseline and then deliver the previous artifact versions into the desired stream.

You might also want to view the documentation that Daniel links to above, and this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZGO0qYNSD4WrN1Qx4f7NzJ74gkfLNDNr

DOORS NG and RQM have built-in configuration management, and links between versioned requirements and versioned tests are resolved automatically to point to the right version at the other end of the link. Read about global configuration management in the product documentation. There are a number of good videos on youtube that provide an introduction.

Configuration management of requirements provides development streams and baselines of requirements (optionally with tests, models or source files in the same configuration context with global configurations).

Yes you can get back to prior versions of requirements (and links to other things).

How can I make this, I would be very greateful for you if you can give a link to show how it's possible :

"

Please watch the videos on youtube.

Are you talking to a technical sales professional at IBM or one of our business partners? Perhaps you need a demo or more in-depth discussion? You can send me an email dmoul@us.ibm.com if you need help finding someone.
