Roll Back Application to the Previously Published Version
When you create a new version to update an application's published version, you re-stage and re-publish the new version to make your changes live. If you want to revert these changes for some reason, you can roll back the application from the current live version to the previously published version.
Publishing a new version of a published version (say, 1.0.2 after 1.0.1) renders the previous live version obsolete. If you decide to roll back from 1.0.2 to 1.0.1, the obsolete version becomes the live version again. This reverts all your application's content, including any database schema changes.
Note:
When you roll back to a previous version, the data of the previous live application is restored. So, if the new version was accidentally published with the Publish application with a clean database option, the rollback recovers the database schema of the previous version.
Keep in mind that you can only roll back an application to its last published version. So if your application includes a 1.0 version that was previously published and is now obsolete, you can't roll back from 1.0.2 to 1.0.
To roll back an application's current live version to its previous live version:
- On the Home page, locate the live version of the application you want to roll back (for example, version 1.0.1), then click the Application Options menu:
- When prompted to confirm, check the versions and click Rollback.
The current live version (for example, version 1.0.1) is set as Development and the previous published version (for example, version 1.0) is set as the Live version, as shown here:
