Question
The shaliach tzibbur mistakenly took out a different Torah scroll, can he replace it?
Answer
As long as the scroll has not left the area of the ark's doors, it can be replaced, but once it has been taken outside, it cannot be returned.

Kaf HaChaim, Siman 144, Se'if Katan 13, cites this from several later authorities
