What should you do?

Why each option
To revert a configuration item to a previous revision in SCCM, you use the Restore action, which makes the selected prior revision the active current revision again.
After restoring the previous version, revision 2 is no longer the active revision - modifying revision 2 would edit the discarded settings rather than the restored current state.
Restoring the previous version promotes revision 1 back to the active state, making it the current revision being evaluated; after the restore, revision 1 is the one in effect and must be modified to update the detection method, since changes are always applied to the current active revision.
Deleting the current revision is a destructive action that is not the correct procedure; SCCM provides a Restore function specifically to return to a prior revision without deletion.
Copying the previous version creates a new item rather than restoring the original item's revision history, and modifying revision 2 would still reference the unwanted current settings.
