Rollback an edition
If you perform a rollout to a new edition and an error exists in your application, then you can undo your change and revert back to the previous edition. To rollback to the edition, perform the rollout steps, but select a former edition to replace the current edition.
Before you begin
If you are a user with either a monitor or an operator role, you can only view the application edition manager information. If you have the role of configurator or administrator, then you have all the configuration privileges for the application edition manager.
The edition to which you want to roll back must be in the system. If your edition is not in the system, then install the edition, and specify edition information that indicates that the edition is earlier than your current edition. For example, if the current edition is 2.0, then specify the edition to rollback to as 1.0. Select the same deployment targets for both editions. Clone the work classes from the current edition to the previous edition.
About this task

Procedure
- Expand Applications > Edition control center in the administrative console. Select the former edition, for example 1.0.
- Click Rollout. This action launches an interruption-free replacement of the current edition with the selected previous edition.
Results
The former application edition is active.
What to do next
