Versions and rolling back
How every publish is kept as an immutable version, what the difference summaries in the list mean, loading a version into the draft and rolling back to an older one.

Making a change, publishing it and then saying "the old one was better" happens often. That is what the Versions tab is for: every publish is kept there and you can go back with one button. This guide explains the idea of a version, the difference summaries in the list, and the two ways of going back.
💡 A version is the automation frozen at the moment it was published. Whatever you do on the canvas afterwards, that version does not change.
What a version is and when it is created
A version is created only when you press Publish. Its number increases one at a time: v1, v2, v3… The number never counts back; even when you go back to an older version it gets a new number.
What a version carries is the flow graph: steps, connections, texts, triggers. The automation's name, folder, re-entry rule and interruptibility are not part of a version — changing them creates no new version, and rolling back does not restore them (Automation settings).
The most important job of versions is this: a running session finishes in the version it started in. If a customer entered the flow on v2, they carry on with v2's graph even after you publish v3. Nobody is left with a half-finished, mismatched sequence of messages.
Opening the tab and reading the list
Open the automation and switch to the Versions tab. If your draft has unpublished changes, an amber line appears above the list: The draft has unpublished changes.
If you have never published, the list is empty and reads: Not published yet. Press "Publish" when the draft is ready.
The list is sorted newest first and paginated. Each row carries:
- Version number — In bold on the left: v4, for example.
- Live badge — Green, only on the version that is currently live.
- Date and time — When the version was published.
- Note — When there is one. A version created by rolling back carries an automatic note: Restored from v2.
- Step count — "12 steps", for example.
- Difference summary — What changed compared with the previous version.
