Hi Sree,
Rollback is generally used for uncommitting or rolling back of committed update sets or recovering of deleted records while
Rollback To is a workflow activity used for making the workflow run again from certain point.
Thanks,

Hello Sree,
You Can use the Roll Back activity when the approval rejected the requested it will be on not yet requested state and once again requester submit the request it will trigger approval activity to the approver. Once approver approve the request it will float to the next level .Roll Back is the good option at this point
The Rollback To activity transitions directly to the activity specified by the outgoing transition line arrow.
Rollback To determines which activities to reset based on the actual workflow sequence (transition line attachments) of activities between itself and the transitioned to activity, not the execution order. Rollback To then marks all the approvals that have transitioned between the rollback and the transitioned to activity as Not Yet Requested and the tasks as either Open or Pending.
Use the Rollback To activity for all workflows in which multiple rollbacks are required. Rollback To has no variables.
Please mark as Correct Answer/Helpful, if applicable.
Thanks!
