I'm trying to restore a previous version of an app I'm currently making. It is unpublished at the moment. I do see the various versions under the "version" column of the app detail. However, it does not have a restore function. It only has Publish this version. I don't want to publish yet, as it is still a work in progress. Is it possible to restore an unpublished app?
Hi @punksterz626,
Restoring an unpublished version of an app is certainly possible. Restoring the app to a previous version will also not automatically publish the app to the latest version - so no worries.
The reason you are seeing 'Publish this version' is because you selected the latest (current) version of the application. You can only restore to previous versions - both unpublished or published ones (so not the one at the top - or Version 4 in the screenshot below):
In order to restore your app to a previous version, you will have to go back at least 1 version - in the example above version 3. Preferably you restore to the version where you expect that the app was stable.
If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.
Thanks!
You can find additional information here (Ms Docs).
Additionally, keep in mind that only the app owner can restore versions.
