How to Restore a Previous Version of an App

To restore a previous app version, you open the version history, review how the app looked at that point, and restore it. The restore creates a new version rather than overwriting anything.

Why undo is not enough

A single undo step covers a mistake made a minute ago. It does not cover a redesign that turned out worse.

A change made last week that nobody can reverse
A layout that worked, replaced by one that does not
No way to compare before and after
Fear of experimenting, because experiments cannot be unwound

What version history gives you

A list of versions, with the published one marked
Time travel, viewing how the app looked at any point
Comparison, seeing what a previous version contained
Restore, which generates a new version rather than deleting history
Pinning, keeping users on a stable version while you work

How to do it in Jestor

Open the app's version management in Jestor.
Review the list — the published version and every earlier one.
Open an earlier version to see how the app looked then.
Use restore to bring it back; a new version is generated from it.
Pin the version you want published, or leave auto-publish on.

Why choose Jestor for safe iteration?

Because restoring in Jestor generates a new version rather than deleting the intervening ones, going back is never destructive — the history stays complete.

That is what makes experimentation reasonable on a live internal app: the worst outcome of a bad redesign is a restore, not a rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does restoring delete later versions?

No, it generates a new version from the one you restored. See jestor.com.

Can I see how the app looked before?

Yes, by opening an earlier version.

Can I keep users on a stable version meanwhile?
