Your script is saying:
- close the substack
- download a new copy of the substack from the web
- now go back to the original saved copy

As Mark says, you need to have the sub-stack as a separate file. Then
you need to download the new version and SAVE it - over-writing the
original. Once you have saved the new version in the same location,
the "revert" command will load in the new one, not re-load the old
one.
