Persona Help Center
⚠️ This question came from a member of the Persona Community - a compliance leader who was trying to understand how best to revert a set of changes. This question is useful for those looking to revert a published Inquiry Template or Workflow to an older published version that contained desired configurations, experiences, and/or steps for end users.
At Persona, we understand that changes to Inquiry Templates or Workflows can sometimes lead to unexpected issues. To ensure minimal disruption, we provide the ability to revert to previous stable versions of both Inquiry Templates and Workflows.
How to use this guide
⚠️ This guide will walk you through the steps to quickly revert to an older Inquiry Template or Workflow version. By following these steps, you can self-serve this fix and reduce your product's downtime. Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary privileges to implement these changes.
- Go to Dashboard —> Team —> Roles —> Your Role —> Products.
- Under both Inquiries and Workflows, ensure that the "Edit" option has been enabled.
